The Flying Bison Brewing Company opened for business in 2000, and is a packaging microbrewery located in the city of Buffalo. It was the first stand alone brewery to operate in the city proper since Iroquois Brewing closed its doors in 1972. Tim Herzog, an award-winning brewer with over 20 years experience established Flying Bison Brewing Company in the city of Buffalo to foster the return of what was once a flourishing industry. It’s this commitment that has carried the way for the brewery to become what it is today. Flying Bison also draws its name in part from Buffalo’s rich history of aviation manufacturing. The brewery began operations as a 20-barrel facility, and in early 2004 installed a full bottling line and upgraded its production capacity by adding a 40 barrel fermenter. The brewery has since expanded by more than 200% adding 4 more 40 barrel fermenters and Flying Bison Beer is currently available in Erie, Niagara and Chautauqua counties.

Buffalo IPA
Buffalo IPA is an India Pale Ale that is slightly dry with a medium to full mouthfeel.
Buffalo IPA is a combination of two big, classic IPA styles; English and American. Flying Bison uses English pale malts as a base, for a firm backbone and solid platform to accept plenty of hops. Then they layer three different hop varieties. First, they add plenty of bitterness to balance the malt, then lots of fresh, hoppy flavor, and finally they dry hop with Galaxy hops from Australia for a bright, tropical fruit bouquet.
Flying Bison’s not trying to blow your head off with IBU's or bitterness. They’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, Flying Bison’s just happens to be made on the "West Coast" of New York State.
Buffalo IPA is a seasonal beer and is only available from March - July.
Available in both bottles and draft.
ABV: 6.4%
Pairs with: spicy foods like Chicken Marsala or Cajun gumbo, as well as sharp cheese.
