Black Hoof Hard Seltzer New Flavor Releases: Aug 1, 8, 15
Buffalo Creek Brewing is at the epicenter of the hard seltzer craze, having received numerous accolades and national raves on its original brand called Black Hoof. By using a reverse osmosis system, Mike yields an ultra-clean drink flavored by special extracts with five percent alcohol by volume and 100 calories in each 12-ounce pour. Boysenberry has been sole flavor since October, but has decided to mix things up and add Mango Habanero and Raspberry Lime Rickey. Both new flavors will be released on August 8.
New Beer Release: Aug 14
Each month Mike brews new handmade beers to complement his extensive menu offerings. From crafty small batch releases to old favorites back by popular demand, Mike gives beer fans a wide selection of fresh choices each month. The August release lineup is as follows:
August 14: Watermelon Wheat - In honor of National Watermelon Day this month, Mike is bringing back his thirst-quenching Watermelon Wheat beer that was first unveiled last August on the FOX Morning Show before taking off at the brewery.
August 14: Constantia Blue - As soon as Watermelon Wheat kicks, Constantia Blue will be on tap. Mike grew up on a blueberry farm in Constantia, NY. To get back to his roots, he's created a golden summertime ale with hints of blueberry.
Jail Bars Off-Road Club: Aug 22
Buffalo Creek Brewing invites Jeep lovers to enjoy a beer and the Jail Bars Off-Road Club on August 22 from 5 pm to 8pm, when Mike's grounds will be decked out with vintage and tricked-out Jeeps.
