Rated both the #1 and Best Pub Food "on earth" by NITE LIFE magazine, and regularly noted in Great Lakes Brewing News for their great selection of free bar top munchies, a quick look at the tap wall will let you know that the great food is not the only thing for which to come to the Buffalo Tap Room.  Twenty-one taps in total is impressive, but the custom brewed beer is a beer lovers delight!  The Buffalo Tap Room has a wide variety of great food, including some of the biggest and best chicken wings you'll ever find. Although you'll find a number of tables in the Bar area, the dining room is separate and very conducive to family dining.  Bring both your appetite and thirst to the Buffalo Tap Room and Grill for a great time for all!

Beer Descriptions

Buffalo Tap Room Amber Ale-  This Amber ale has is light amber in color, with a nutty malt character and a nice clean light hop finish. The beer starts with a nose that is a combination of toasted malt and fresh hop character. The malt carries through the entire flavor to the crisp finish. Buffalo Tap Room Amber Ale has enough flavor to stand up to the biggest of foods but is light enough to be an easy drinking staple. Brewed with Pale Ale, Cara Vienna, Munich and Chocolate Malts with Magnum and Liberty Hops. Original Gravity 1.053. 5.2% Alcohol By Volume.

Buffalo Tap Room Cherry Wheat- We use six different malts to create a dark wheat beer for the base of this complex Cherry Wheat. The aroma of this beer is a complex intertwining of Cherries, Toasted Malt and Fruity Esters. The Cherry nose carries over into the beginning of the taste, that then fades to a complex malty flavor.

Hood Hops and Natural Cherry Flavor. Original Gravity 1.054. 5.0 Alcohol by Volume

The Buffalo Tap Room India Pale Ale is brewed in that tradition and would have survived the journey perfectly. This beer is deep gold in color and has a wonderful hop aroma and flavor. Although the beer has a big hop character, we add enough malt to give a wonderful balance between the hops, malt and alcohol. The beer has a long complex hop finish that lasts and lasts. The beer is deceivingly strong with an alcohol content of 6.0% Alcohol by Volume. Brewed with Pale Ale, Munich, Cara Vienna and Wheat Malt with Columbus and First Gold Hops.
