Rusty Nickel Brewing Co.

On an impromptu whim BWG decided to trek south of the city to one of Buffalo’s Newest breweries — and we’re glad we did. Rusty Nickel Brewing Co. is located directly behind Ebenezer Ale House in West Seneca. They have recently opened their tap room, but the whole facility is still under construction.

Just about everything you see from the seating, to the lighting, to the bar tops to the coolers are either handmade by RNBC, or has been locally reclaimed and restored. These little details go a long way toward creating a warm, inviting and laid-back, purely beer-loving atmosphere. But the best part RNBC’s wonderful tap room is that it’s full of their unique and flavorful beers. We sampled several brews of varying styles and enjoyed each one. They were all distinctly flavored, fresh, crisp and genuinely drinkable. From their archetypical cream ale to their outlandish creamisicle flavored imperial ale, all of RNBC’s brews were crafted with an obvious fineness. They’re tap room also serves a few brews from other local breweries and features locally made wine, whiskey and spirits.

“Slice O’ Havens – Creamsicle Double Cream Ale”

“Chai Tea Milk Stout”

“Oatmeal Cookie Ale”

RNBC will be constantly revolving their unique batches of brews through the coming months in search of what’s most popular with their customers and what they’ll keep on tap as their mainstays. With these awesome initial batches leaving such an impression with BWG, we cannot wait to see and taste what will be coming in the future.
