Buffalo IPA
FBBC's West Coast... err “WNY” IPA
Buffalo IPA is a combination of two big, classic IPA styles; English and American. We use English pale malts as a base, for a firm backbone and solid platform to accept plenty of hops. Then we layer three different hop varieties. First, we add plenty of bitterness to balance the malt, then lots of fresh, hoppy flavor, and finally we dry hop with Galaxy hops from Australia for a bright, tropical fruit bouquet.
We're not trying to blow your head off with IBU's or bitterness. We're trying to excite your senses with long lasting smells and flavors. Every beer lover knows about the bright, hoppy IPAs from the West Coast ours just happens to be made on the "West Coast" of New York state.
Nothing washes down the memories of a good day like a great beer. Buffalo IPA is that great beer. In Buffalo, now we can sit on our porch, patio, boat, dock, or backyard, watch the sun go down over the water and drink a locally made IPA, just like the other West Coast.
