I want to start profiling all of the Western New York breweries in more of a formal fashion and just happened to be out at NYBP! I was there for their first annual homebrew competition and asked if head-brewer Jason Crossett and co-owner Kelly Krupski would sit down and discuss the current state and future direction of New York Beer Project.

In this episode, we take a flavorful journey through the vibrant brewing scene in Western New York, showcasing stories of triumph, collaboration, and community celebration.
We start by celebrating the success of New York Beer Project at the 2024 NYS Craft Beer Competition, where they clinched five medals across various categories, including their innovative Hazy Crush: Island Style IPA. Resurgence and Big Ditch had big days as well!
Transitioning to industry news, we discuss the closure of K2 Brothers Brewing's satellite taproom at Hatchets & Hops in Black Rock, highlighting the challenges faced in the brewing business.
Shifting gears to collaboration and advocacy, we delve into Resurgence Brewing's partnership with the Pink Boots Society for the "Every Beer is Girls’ Beer" release. This collaboration produces a delightful Buffalo IPA and supports women and non-binary individuals in the brewing industry.
Exploring the creative side of brewing, we feature 1927 Brew House's latest pilot batch, the Exposaic New England IPA, crafted with Mosaic and experimental hops for a tropical fruit explosion.
Mortalis Brewing Buffalo makes an appearance with their exciting lineup of new beers, including the Hydra/Final Four and Hydra/Chonk Smoothie Sours, as well as the Odins Revenge Double IPA, showcasing the brewery's commitment to innovative flavors.
As we celebrate milestones, we highlight Tap That Tap Room's upcoming first-anniversary celebration, showcasing their unique self-pour taproom concept and community engagement efforts.
Finally, we blend sports and craft beer with the Buffalo Bisons' Southern Tier Craft Beer Ticket Pack, offering a delightful combination of baseball and local brews for fans to enjoy during the Bisons' 2024 season kickoff.
Join us as we raise a glass to the resilience, creativity, and camaraderie found within Western New York's vibrant brewing community. Cheers to great beers and even greater stories!
