Buffalo Creek Brewing Launches New Core Beers, March Tap'ness and More this March
Buffalo Creek Brewing (BCB) in historic downtown Long Grove will welcome in the spring season this March with a variety of beer events and releases over the next month. The destination brewery known for its handcrafted German-style beer and lively atmosphere is, as owner/brewmaster Mike Marr says, "not only a place that's centered around the art of brewing, but a shared space that connects people and friends."
New Beer Launches
Each month, Mike brews new handmade beers to add to his extensive taproom menu. This month, however, Mike will officially launch three new BCB core beers set to take over distribution on premise and in retail outlets across the local region. Fans of Buffalo Creek Brewing beer or those looking to familiarize with Mike's renowned product can look for the following three new mainstays at the brewery or out and about:
Long Grove Lager (Vienna style lager)
Heaven n' Hell (Munich-style Helles lager)
Half Nelson (Double dry hopped American Wheat)
Other March Releases for Taproom Only:
Burning Red (Irish Red Ale named after a brewing incident that happened years ago)
Wheat Crazy (March small batch beer, release date in March TBD)

About Buffalo Creek Brewing:
Buffalo Creek Brewing is Lake County's only destination brewery located in the heart of downtown Long Grove (about 30 miles NW of Chicago). What makes the brewery a destination? It's not in a warehouse or an old rundown building, but instead settled in a transformed art studio on two acres of wooded land in the middle of a historic village. The state-of-the-art brewing facility features Bavarian-style beer and themed taproom, private event room, brew masters lounge, biergarten patio, and sprawling, scenic lawns with a concert stage, picnic tables, and fire pits.
