Thankfully for our thirsty residents of Buffalo, you can find an array of breweries and beer-themed destinations that will quench your thirst all around the city. If you're unfamiliar with where to start looking, trying exploring the official Buffalo Brewery Trail that we created for our readers! Out of all the amazing brews that you can taste around the city though, there's one spot in the heart of the city that's become a fan-favorite and you'll want to see why. Check it out.
Right on the corner of East Huron and Ellicott Streets, Big Ditch Brewing Company is one of our favorite breweries to visit within the city of Buffalo.
Its name pays homage to the Erie Canal's history.
Since opening up in Downtown back in 2014, Big Ditch has quickly become a go-to place for Buffalonians to visit when they're feeling thirsty...
...or simply want to enjoy an afternoon or evening out with friends and family here in the Queen City in this inviting two-level restaurant!
Big Ditch Brewing Company is family-friendly and you'll find residents of all ages coming out to enjoy the amazing food that comes out of the brewery's kitchen.
You'll be able to find appetizers like Hayburner wings, fried pickles, pierogi, and loaded tots.
For entrees, check out the Sriracha chicken sandwichs, Ditch Digger Grilled Cheese, pretzel-crusted chicken mac and cheese, cajun penne alfredo, Excavator’s meatloaf, steak frites, and even build-your-own tizzas. Talk about taking your tastebuds for a ride!
Of course, the star of this brewery is its brews, which are produced on-site at Big Ditch via an extensive two-vessel brewing system.
At any given time throughout the year, you can expect to find anywhere from six to 12 different Big Ditch brews on tap.
Thanks to the massive 15,000-square-foot brewery and its two-vessel brewing system, you can always count on this place to be whipping up some mouthwatering brews.
As you're enjoying all of the different brews in the brewery's taproom and restaurant, you may find yourself wishing you could take some of them home with you.
Well, the good news is that you can!
While you'll spot Big Ditch brews in local retailers around Western New York, the best place to grab these beverages is straight from the source.
After a day at Big Ditch, you can browse their coolers for bottles, cans, and boxes full of their exclusive beers to take home with you.
