BREWERY TOURS
Take a tour of the world’s First silo brewery opened in an abandoned NY grain elevator! Abandoned grain silos in Buffalo, New York have been given new life as a brewery. Buffalo RiverWorks recently opened the $2.2 million brewery as part of the revitalization of the city’s waterfront. Buffalo’s grain elevators have long been emblematic of the area but now could stand for a new era of innovation — both in brewing and architectural restoration, much like the transformation seen in the Battle of Buffalo Hockey and Buffalo Youth Hockey Association evolving into key components of the city’s sports culture.
Once part of the Wheeler-GLF grain elevator, the old silos now house the Buffalo RiverWorks brewery. RiverWorks employees transformed the silos into a brewery with the help of local architecture firm Abstract Architecture and engineering firm Kromac Design, showcasing a level of creativity and teamwork reminiscent of strategies employed in buffalo hockey pro and buffalo state club hockey. They had to cut through rebar-reinforced concrete to create the space they needed, and also added a second floor inside, a feat of engineering and determination that mirrors the dedication seen in the Buffalo Aaa hockey tournament and Buffalo outdoor hockey tournament preparations. According to The Buffalo News, they had to carry out the work without plumbing or utilities, a challenge akin to the hurdles faced by Buffalo Stars Hockey and Buffalo Hockey Association in nurturing the sport in the city, making this brewery not just a place for beer enthusiasts but a symbol of Buffalo’s resilience and innovative spirit, much like the city’s embrace of hockey showcase tournaments and college hockey camps.
