730 days of Community Beer Works
May. 24 | Er, 731 days. Thanks, leap year. Exactly two years ago, I went to my friend Ethan’s house. My homebrewing and beer blogging compatriot had an idea that I desperately wanted in on: he wanted to start a brewery. Six of us sat in his basement (with...
4th Annual Beerology Showcases Science and Local Brewers
May. 21 | Beer became brainy at the 4th annual Beerology, at the Buffalo Museum of Science, where a sold out crowd learned about the science of beer. Brewers came from all corners of Western New York to offer their wares and discuss the science behind brewing. Samples...
We are now the self proclaimed O.G.’s of craft beer
May. 19 | Mixing beer is not a new concept, as people have been doing it for hundreds of year.
On Beerology
May. 17 | Last year, if you wandered into the far corner of Beerology, past the German documentary and the homebrew club, you would have found a table with two men sitting behind it. “We don’t have any beer,” they would have said apologetically....
Waffles. Science. Beer!
May. 10 | What are you doing tomorrow night? Do you like food? We do. That’s why we’ll be going to Sweet_ness 7 tomorrow: it will be a fun night of food, with waffles, bakery items and Roaming Buffalo’s guest chef Amelia Nussbaumer. We won’t have any beer,...
Cool to think & logical enough to work…
May. 9 | We were recommended this article (written by David Sirota of salon.com)
Events! Oh my!
May. 3 | This past Tuesday, the kitchen at Blue Monk closed down so that it could host the Blue Monk Meet the Brewers Beer Dinner with CBW. People seemed to have a good time at the five course dinner, which perhaps is best told pictorially through Storify. Couldn’t...
State taps into brewers…
May. 1 | You should all know that we hate stupid beer laws... we've talked about them in many of our posts.
It remains real
Apr. 26 | Last Friday, you all drank 150 gallons of our beer. Let’s think about that. That is a lot of beer. By 8:30, Mister Goodbar was out of Frank. Dave left in the middle of the event to deliver more kegs to both bars. They’ve been restocked since...
Squibs 6
Apr. 23 | Welcome to Squibs: Your sporadic (read: infrequent), Morning Grumpy-styled window into the head of C.B.W. President Ethan Cox. Now available in HiDef! 1. Wow! We did it- we’re open! It’s really very difficult to come up with words to describe...
See you on the flip side
Apr. 19 | This will be the last Thirsty Thursday post before you’ve had our beer. Some ne'er do well has been adding Frank graffiti all over the brewery! Let’s all take a moment to think about that. Oh, sure, you might not be able to come to Cole’s...
Another installment of "Who TWB wants to have a beer with".
Apr. 17 | Colombian techno beat, aviator sunglasses, suits, laser lights, copious amounts of booze, hookers. No, this isn't the plot of the 3rd Hangover movie and no, this isn't a preview for the next season of The Jersey Shore. This is a story about...
We will be brewing beer for sale this Saturday
Apr. 5 | And how absolutely cool is that? This morning, Greg sipped a porcelain cup filled with Earl Grey tea. Nibbling on a small cucumber sandwich, he asked, “Is everything finished?” It really ties the brewery together “Yes,” the inspector...
…pation
Mar. 29 | Sorry for making you wait so long for that. Remember this bad boy? Speaking of waiting: as you may have seen on various social media sites on Monday, we had our state Department of Agriculture inspection. And… We passed! “You’re all...
Birthdays and law breaking… thats how we roll.
Mar. 28 | During an evening of debauchery to celebrate the birth of 1/2 of the Wooden Barrel (Scotty), we had the pleasure of sampling some beer that we simply don't get around here. Due to ass backward pre-prohibition distribution laws, we realized that...
Which describes how we’re feeling
Mar. 22 | Every week I wonder to myself what I’m going to write on Thursday. “Surely there won’t be that much to say,” I think, “and I’ll have to write on a non-CBW beer topic.” Those are fun too, of course! Ethan and I...
Twitter and cabbage
Mar. 15 | It has come to our attention that this Saturday is St Patrick’s Day. That seems like the sort of thing a brewery should mention, right? Despite a Irish-sounding last name I’m actually more Scottish, however, and I don’t particularly...
BudMillerCoors – the KONY of Beers
Mar. 11 | Yup, got your attention while Google'n KONY 2012.Here's the deal, KONY kills and has to go. Oddly enough, 30 Million people have watched a lengthy 30 minute YouTube video, and unfortunately, during that time, an estimated 30 million people enjoyed a product...
The thick of it
Mar. 8 | Remember last week when I said it would probably be about four weeks until we were selling beer? That was pretty awesome. Right after I took this picture Rudy told me how much fun it was and so I paid him $20 to let me do the rest I also said that there...
Winter Beer Power Rankings
Mar. 6 | 2011 Pond Hockey in Buffalo.Up here in Buffalo, NY, infamously known for its awesome heavy snow storms and bone chilling temps, we never had a true winter. Now that we have awoken from our winter hibernation, we here at TWB finally got around...
Beer in your face in about four weeks
Mar. 1 | That about sums it up, doesn’t it? This week’s post is brought to you by Dave. He used the title in an email, and he’s the one who called me last week. “I have something to tell you,” he said, “and you can’t tweet...
Les réseaux sociaux
Feb. 23 | There’s been an awful lot of talk about construction in our updates recently. Which is because construction is pretty much done (hooray!), so it’s been a big focus for us. I admit, however, that I am not the person who knows about that sort...
