Back in Buffalo from our day trip to Rochester! Lots of cool stuff happening down the 90 similar to what we’ve got going on here at home! Talking about Rochester, have you checked out the most recent Brews & Interviews blog with Jason Barrett from Black Button Distilling? Head over to drinkingpoints.com and give it a go! . . . #drinklocal #rochesterbeer #buffalobeer #craftbeer #butfirstcoffee #podcasting #beerblog
Cookies and beer go together like... cookies and beer! (And that’s a good thing.) . . . . #drinklocal #rochesterbeer #sundayfunday
Isn’t it a beautiful sight? . . . #butfirstcoffee
New episode up on this beautiful Friday! In this episode, we go over our weekend road trip through Western New York and discuss the colorful history of a few towns that we passed through: one that is known as the “birthplace of WNY”, another that was the birthplace of the author of the Pledge of Allegiance, and a town that has not one, but two, correctional facilities! Also, we bring back one of OUR favorite segments (we hope it’s yours too): WHAT COULD’VE IT BEEN NAMED? The purpose of this road trip was to find our “hoppy” place at Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY, which was obviously amazing; but being in Watkins Glen, of course, means that we had to check out the local beer scene. Watkins Glen is the home of Rooster Fish Brewing, New York’s first Farm Brewery, so we drank a flight (as one does) and also managed to find some of their beer to drink on the show. Although the episode states that Rooster Fish was NYS’s first Farm Brewery; another beer we drank today by Good Nature Brewing from Hamilton, NY says THEY’re the first Farm Brewery in the state. Which one of you is it?! The third beer we drank was by Rogue Ales. Why are we drinking a beer from out of state on the show? Because not only is Rogue from one of the top three hop producing states in the US. But they’re also 100% in on #drinklocal! They’ve got their own farms where they grow a ton of ingredients for their beer; and we think that’s pretty cool! So I guess all we can say now is that we hope you enjoy this random episode, and we hope you find YOUR hoppy place! . . . #drinklocal #thinknydrinkny #podcasting #craftbeer #roadtrip
It’s Monday and that means that there’s only a few more days until this weeks episode becomes last weeks episode! Have you had your Drinking Points fix yet? Check out Episode 23 to hear all about some great American and Canadian brews, the War of 1812, and the Burning of Buffalo. This morning after we got our coffee we took a walk down Main St. and came across this plaque; you’ll hear more about Margaret St. John and her home on the show. Now get to it; and as always thanks for your support! Cheers! 🍻 . . . #drinklocal #butfirstcoffee #warof1812 #burningofbuffalo #buffalove #podcasting
New week; new episode of Drinking Points! Ah, Canada and the U.S.A. They gained their independence the same week in July (almost 100 years apart) and they’ve been friends since the very beginning right? WRONG! *thunder crashes* The year is 1812 and Congress declares war on Canada! Not really, they declared war on Great Britain who had control of Canada. Forts were built, destroyed, and rebuilt. The same went for entire cities! And it’s been so damn hot here that we thought, “Hey, let’s talk about the burning of Buffalo.” Beer wise, we chat a bit about the oldest breweries of both the U.S. and Canada and we drink beers from four different breweries that we’re PRETTY SURE we haven’t mentioned on the show before! (Two American, two Canadian.) So grab a beer, sit down, and have a listen eh! 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 . . . #drinklocal #warof1812 #buffalove #podcasting . . . This plaque is dedicated to the soldiers of the Flint Hill Encampment in the War of 1812. You can find it in our very own Delaware Park right in the middle of the golf course.
