Ellicottville Brewing Company<\/p>\n
Born out of the heart of ski country in New York State, Ellicottville Brewing Company has been making their take on old world-style beers for more than 20 years and counting. Founded in 1995 by Peter Kreinheder, Ellicottville Brewing Co., or EBC as it\u2019s known to those of us into the whole brevity thing, started with the idea that ski country needed some better beer than what was currently available, which in 1995 wasn\u2019t much at all.<\/p>\n
Ellicottville Brewing\u2019s first location was in, you guessed it, the Village of Ellicottville, NY. Since the founding of the brewery in 1995, two more locations in Fredonia and Bemus Point, NY have opened to help spread the good word of craft beer and amazing food. In 2013 the original brewpub was expanded into an 8,000 sq. ft. facility featuring a restaurant, brew house, and German beer garden. Standing by their slogan of \u201cBrewed to Entertain,\u201d EBC has continually made outstanding beers that never fail to please. With a focus on fresh ingredients and a want to follow the idea of \u201cFarm to Pint,\u201d EBC is still going strong 23 years later with no signs of slowing down. Best of all, thanks to Vecenie Distributing we\u2019re finally able to get EBC beers here in the City of Champions.<\/p>\n
Beers
\nLike most craft breweries, Ellicottville Brewing Co. has both year-round and seasonal brews so we can have our favorite beers all year, and enjoy some extra special beers tied to each season. As an added bonus, EBC launched their Imperial Series in 2015, under which they have been able to release some very unique beers with a little higher gravity than your typical beer has to offer.<\/p>\n
EBC focuses on old world-style beers with a modern twist, which means that while they mostly start with tried and true styles of beer, these common brews are spiced up with something extra special. Whether it\u2019s adding fruit to a hefeweizen or peanut butter to a porter, EBC mixes the old and the new to make truly unique craft beers.<\/p>\n
Everyday Series<\/p>\n
Blueberry Wheat Ale \u2013 Refreshing at any time of the year, EBC\u2019s Blueberry Wheat Ale comes in at a sessionable 4.8% ABV, featuring fresh blueberries, Canadian 2-row barley, white wheat, and noble German hops to give you a beer that\u2019s light, crisp, and always fresh. On the nose you\u2019ll get a fresh blueberry aroma that\u2019s followed by a light malty body and a bright blueberry taste. The finish is slightly dry with a light, lingering blueberry flavor.<\/p>\n
Keepin\u2019 It Peel \u2013 Brewed in the style of American IPA, Keepin\u2019 It Peel comes in at 5% ABV and features flavors of grapefruit and lime peel, giving this already citrus-forward beer a bright, fresh flavor and aroma that\u2019s not overpowered by a higher ABV as with other American IPAs.<\/p>\n
Stainless Steel IPA \u2013 Another take on the American IPA style, Stainless Steel IPA refers to the tanks in which most beers are brewed and fermented. Stainless Steel comes in at 7% ABV and 77 IBU and features juicy, flowery aromas backed up by a brilliant, complex flavor profile including citrus rind, light floral notes, and a hop-forward bitterness. <\/p>\n
Seasonal Series<\/p>\n
Ski Bum Hoppy Ale \u2013 Jumping over to the seasonal side of EBC, their Ski Bum Winter Ale may be on its way out as we get into Spring, but that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t get ready for next year. Ski Bum is a crisp, hop-forward winter ale that pours a beautiful auburn color that features a 6% ABV, hoppiness thanks to Centennial hops, and a little holiday spice to make this beer bright and flavorful for those cold winter months.<\/p>\n
Blood Orange Hefeweizen \u2013 Ellicottville Brewing takes the standard hefeweizen style of beer and adds the bright, refreshing character of Napa Valley blood oranges. With a slight bitterness, this sessionable 4.6% ABV beer has a clear blood orange flavor with a somewhat dry, earthy finish. <\/p>\n
Mow Monster Ultra Pale Ale \u2013 Starting with Belgian Cara malts and an array of fresh American hops, EBC\u2019s seasonal American pale ale is brewed for warm weather to be lighter-bodied while keeping tons of flavor and just enough bitterness to stay refreshing from start to finish, and at 5% ABV, this is one beer you can have a few of and not worry about your mowing.<\/p>\n
Just Peachy Fruit Ale \u2013 Brewed in the shandy\/radler style of beers, EBC\u2019s Just Peachy is a sumer seasonal that uses barley and wheat paired with sweet Georgia peaches and black tea to give you a 4.2% ABV beer that\u2019s light, refreshing, and ready for the hottest days you can throw at it.<\/p>\n
Fall Festival Lager \u2013 Changing pace from the typical lineup of ales from EBC, their M\u00e4rzen Fall Festival Lager uses fresh German Hallatauer hops and Munich malts to make a truly unique yet traditional 5.6% ABV beer to celebrate the yearly Oktoberfest season.<\/p>\n
Mosaic Sunrise IPA \u2013 Brewed using all Mosaic hops, Mosaic Sunrise is a 6% ABV beer that comes loaded with layers of tropical fruit and big, bright aromas all neatly packaged in a hop-forward American IPA. Ringing in at 80 IBUs, this beer isn\u2019t for the faint of heart, yet it is approachable enough for those just starting to worship at the chapel of the almighty hop, too.<\/p>\n
Imperial Series<\/p>\n
Chocolate Cherry Bomb \u2013 True to the series name, Chocolate Cherry Bomb is a big 8.2% ABV American imperial stout featuring English hops, chocolate malt, and Oregon sweet cherries. The result is a beer that is just about perfect for that very special day in February with someone extra special.<\/p>\n
\u00bd Baked Peanut Butter Porter \u2013 EBC starts with an American-style porter and ups the ABV to 7% while adding roasted peanuts to give this beer a real roasty peanut butter character that\u2019s backed up by the American oats, British malts, and Canadian Barley. \u00bd Baked pours a near-perfect black with a creamy tan head and a silky-smooth mouthfeel.<\/p>\n
Fistful of Peel Imperial Citrus IPA \u2013 Brewed in the American Imperial IPA style, Fistful of Peel comes in at 8% ABV and 82 IBU and features zesty orange, tart grapefruit, and bright lime peel all alongside the Centennial and Citra hops to give you loads of citrus goodness while keeping the fruitiness in check thanks to the hop-forward character found from start to finish in the big, bold beer.<\/p>\n
Raspberry Beret Sour Ale \u2013 Now that you have Prince stuck in your head on repeat (you\u2019re welcome), EBC\u2019s take on the sour style of beers comes your way at 7% ABV and is specifically a kettle-soured raspberry blonde ale. That means you\u2019re in for bright, tart flavors with a crisp sourness that has a somewhat malty, bready base. In short, this is one heck of a solid sour beer that\u2019s still approachable.<\/p>\n
Caramel Apple Cuvee \u2013 Some beers need a little time \u201cin wood\u201d to get the perfect flavor profile, and EBC\u2019s Caramel Apple Cuvee is just such a beer. This 8.5% ABV strong blonde ale is aged in American Oak and is brewed with caramel, green apples, citrus, and vanilla. Together, these flavors meld into one truly amazing beer that finishes dry with a very prominent oak essence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
