We’re bringing the Alps to Buffalo Creek Brewing with a lineup of cozy, crave-worthy drinks including Alpine Ol’ Spritz, Hot Buttered Beer, Boozy Hot Chocolate made with our infamous Russian Imperial Stout, Hallows, and our brand-new Weizenbock. This strong, malty German wheat beer blends the fruity, spicy character of a Weissbier with the rich body and higher ABV of a Bock. Expect notes of banana, clove, dark fruit (plum and raisin), and toasted bread, all balanced by low bitterness and lively carbonation.
New this year: themed nights!
