This week, we're drinking a Fan Zone IPA from Ellicottville Brewing. Formally "Tailgate Time IPA", this re-branding is still the same recipe we fell in love with last year. Quite possibly the best beer Ellicottville makes, and based on their portfolio, that's high praise for this Football-Season staple. Grab one wherever great beer is sold.Also, check out Marc from Mount Morris's suggestion from Underground Beer Labs called Variance: Nectaron. You can call in and let us know you're favorite beer this week at (716) 486-BEER (2337).All of the WNY Brews podcasts are at BuffaloBeerLeague.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

It's been a long time since One Eyed Cat showed up on the scene, and yet, with multiple setbacks, they haven't had a space to show for it. So after years of pop-ups, festivals, events, and any other chance they could use to pour their beers, they have finally landed on Main Street in Williamsville. The Buffalo Beer League and WNY Brews took a ride to the former "Pairings Wine Bar" to see the new home of One Eyed Cat. And a home they found, complete with a living room, bar, and outdoor patio with a fire pit. There's a coziness to the new space that OECB is eager to take advantage of when they open next Spring.In this episode, we taste some beers, talk about business philosophy, and whatever else pops into our heads while drinking thirteen percenters.

What have I been doing?Besides the holidays and the general business that 2 kids cause, I've been working on Voice Over work, side-gigs, recorded an audiobook, AND have put time into the podcast, just not in a forward-facing way:-I've been updating the site to be more secure-Working on a searchable water database (send any local water reports you have to Scott@WNYBrews.com)-Recording audio of some BJCP materials for personal study guides.-Brewing a bunch.-Working on a Grainfather review.Two episodes a month until the summerAfter summer, I would love to get back to doing an episode a week, but it's hard to do with 2 kids and all the side-gigs I take on.Two videos a monthSame with the episodes, except the videos take a little more time.Get the blog movingThis is the big announcement. There are many home brewing blogs on the internet and some of them are great...some, are not. We have the collective knowledge in Buffalo to make a truly great one, but I need people to write or simply contribute-Recipe's-Reviews-Moderation-Events-Videos-ArticlesI want to keep it simple, so if you write an article, recipe, etc. for WNY Brews, you can monetize it however you'd like. If you want to run ads on it, all of that revenue goes to you. If you write an article that brings in hundreds of thousands of views, you make any advertising revenue from that page. I keep nothing.

Welcome to a retrospective episode of Western New York Brews! I’ve hesitated releasing anything for 42 because of how significant the number is. Episode 42 is easily the most important number I’ve recorded so far, and probably the most significant until episode 100. It is after all, the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything. It’s been 41 episodes so far (in more time than it should have taken) and I finally figured out what I should do. Using the theme of life, the universe, and everything, I thought I would talk about what we’ve done and what I’ve been planning in regards to WNY Brews.

Your Brain on Hops has completed its first collaboration! The hosts met up with Scott, host of the WNY Brews podcast, at his Watch Your Heads Podcast Studios.

This episode is Part Two of the collaboration, so make sure you check out WNY Brews for Part One! (though you can listen to them in any order, since plot isn't one of our strong points)
