unaffectionately called “The most evil square mile in America” , the Buffalo Erie
Canal District. It is no “stretching the blanket” during its heyday it was estimated that
70 to 80% of the major crimes of the entire nation occurred along the “Canawl”.
Out of the maelstrom of the teeming masses of Foofoos, Lakers, Canawlers, Blacklegs,
Macaronis, Whitelegs, Scalpers, Scoopers, Roughnecks and Runners our nation was
reborn. The Babel-like confusion of Canal Street and the Commercial Slip was the Western
terminus of the new America on the march, the brave new world, the Hope of the unanointed
and the downtrodden. The result of this amazing period of Buffalo history was that we
were the “Silicon Valley” of America for over 50 years.
We are proud of our History and the hard-edge character of our building; our restoration
has tried to maintain the “feeling”. ENJOY! EXPLORE!
It Begins when our premium 2-row pale malted barley is drawn from our massive
storage silo (1) out back to our cellar mill (2) where it is crushed with other specialty malts
depending on the brew. After cracking, the grains(now called grist) are then transferred
upstairs via the grain elevator (3) into the grist hopper (4). Where they are mixed with filtered
boiling water in the grist hydrator and pumped into the mash tun (5). The brewer lets the
starches convert into sugar and then pumps the liquid (now called wort), into the kettle (6)
while he rinses the grain to extract the rest of the sugars. The wort is then boiled for 90 min.
during which time he adds hops for bitterness and flavor. The wort is then whirlpooled and
rests to allow all the hops to settle and be extracted. It is then transferred into a fermenter (7)
via the heat exchanger (8) where it is cooled from 212 to 60 F. In the fermenter, brewers yeast
and oxygen are added and the wort ferments for about 4 days. It is now beer, the “nectar of
the gods”!
After the beer has aged & matured for approximately 10 additional days it is
transferred to one of our fourteen, 550 gallon serving tanks from where it is served fresh to
you. We then watch in amazement at how quickly our vessels empty. This process is repeated
over 156 times per year at capacity depending on “the thirst”.
When our brewer is available, Brewery tours are available upon request. Just ask your
server. However, your inclusion on the tour requires you to agree with Ben Franklin who
said, “Beer is tangible proof that God loves us” and to believe that our brewer is a practitioner
of the ancient art of alchemy!
Enjoy!
