Wait, I'm confused...
Q: How could I have voted for a beer if I didn't taste any of them?
A: Stop right there. Take 5 giant steps backwards. Okay. We started completely from scratch by narrowing down the beer by style category, and got more specific as we went forward. Once we narrowed it down to a single style after 10,000 votes, we held a taste testing event. We brewed four different variations of the chosen style, and had about 300 Buffalonians come out to choose our flagship beer, The Byson Brown Dunkel. We'll begin another selection process to choose our second beer soon. Stay tuned!
Q: So where are you guys located?
A: Nope - 5 more steps backwards. We're thrilled that there are so many amazing craft breweries popping up all over the Greater Buffalo area, however we will not be one of them. We are a contract brewing company - meaning we use a local facility to brew our beer, and distribute it to restaurants, bars and beer stores. It's a fairly common practice, actually.
Q: Oh, I see. So where do you guys brew your beer then?
A: We brew our beer over at CB Craft Brewers, in Honeoye Falls, NY. Sure, it may not be "Buffalo," exactly, but it's still WNY. And they still root for the Bills over there so as far as I'm concerned we're like blood brothers.
Q: Sounds good to me! Where can I grab a cold one?
A: We distribute through Try-it distributing to various restaurants, bars, and beer stores throughout Greater Buffalo. You can find the full list of places that carry our beer right here.
Q: So you're only making one beer?
A: Yes, to start. We will begin the selection process for our second beer in the coming months.
Q: How can I be a taste tester in the next final selection event?
A: There are a number of ways you can get to be a taste tester in our final selection events!
1) Become a MyCity Brew ambassador: We'll send you an update every opportunity there is to earn your role.
2) Follow us on all of our social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter)! We're always doing contests for taste testing roles and other cool giveaways like pint glasses and t-shirts!
Q: How can I help?
A: We want our beer to be exactly what Buffalo asked for, so tell your friends there's a brewing company that's letting you choose the beer! Also like on our Facebook page and our other social media pages goes a longgg way!
Q: Do you have any positions/internships available?
A: We aren't currently hiring any positions, but would be happy to talk to you about an internship! Drop us a line at info@mycitybrew.com if you think you can roll with the MyCity Brew Crew.
Q: What the &*#$ took you guys so long?
A:. The million dollar question - let us explain. We spent an entire year+ traveling all over the Greater Buffalo region, collecting nearly 10,000 votes to make sure we got a representative sample of Buffalo's tastes. Apologies for that process taking longer than expected. Trust us, we were anxious to get the beer out there as soon as we could, but more than anything, we wanted to make sure the beer we brew is the right beer for the Buffalo community... so didn't take any shortcuts. The good news is, your beer is here and we think you guys nailed it. Try it for yourself to see!
