TOWN OF TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WKBW) — There's a new brewery in the Town of Tonawanda, and they're sharing an important message with their customers.

Beer Kind Brewing is the first brewery in the Town of Tonawanda and it opened during the Fourth of July weekend.

Co-owners Alex and Jen Buckley said Beer Kind is all about being kind to the community through charitable contributions and yourself through delicious brews.

"We have a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. We're family-friendly and the highlight is our self-pour tap wall, where our customers can pour as much or as little as they want and pay by the ounce," said Jen Buckley. "We're happy to bring this to the community. We've had a lot of welcoming support from the town and all the residents and community, so it's pretty exciting that we're able to be the first brewery here."

Alex is a longtime brewer, so he said it was a no-brainer for him to open Beer Kind.

"Our customer experience goes like this: come over to our glass wall, walk up to the taps, tap your card right here. You can tap the screen and it'll give you a breakdown of what the beer is. We'll tap our card right here and we'll go ahead and pour," said Alex Buckley.

"It allows customers to sample as many different things as they'd like and find what's appealing to them before they commit to a full pour," added Jen Buckley.

You'll find six of their beers on tap. Plus, the couple has partnered with local small businesses like Meet and Eat Charcuterie and What's Pop-In Gourmet Popcorn.

Beer Kind Brewing is located at 2765 Kenmore Avenue in the Town of Tonawanda.
