Hey everyone, my name is Sean Burley and I recently joined up with this great endeavor. It is my hope that my experiences in New York can help shine a little light on some really great things available right here in the Empire State. Without further ado, on to the review!
I have been drinking everything put out by the Flying Bison Brewing Company for almost 7 years now. The Aviator Red, Rusty Chain and the Buffalo Lager are some of the all-season brews that can be found on tap in many of the pubs, bars and local stores in bottles right here in Buffalo, NY. The brewery was started by Tim Herzog some time ago in the City proper and hopes to pave the way for a return of the grand brewing traditions Buffalo once had.
The beer that first caught my eye so many years ago is one that only comes out every year in early fall: The Bisonfest (Formally known as Baron von Bisionfest) which, as the name might suggest, is an Oktoberfest Marzen. This beer taste great and can be enjoyed at home with a six pack or on tap at such fine establishments as the Blue Monk in the Elmwood Village Buffalo, NY. Either way you will note right away that this “older” styled marzen is an intermediate burgundy color that smells almost citrusy at first but in time turns to a creamy caramel. With both its subtle malty taste and the crisp, refreshing finish the beer has a great drinkability rating, it is therefore somewhat sad to see this beer leave so soon, as it is only available for about 2 months! So get it while you can and if you looked to no avail : check out the Village Beer Merchant, they have everything!
