Why Buffalo?

RBC and BCW is located in the heart of the City of Good Neighbors, Buffalo, NY. We're a young brewery, established in 2013, and on the heels of the "resurgence" of the city (see what we did there?). Many are flocking to the region for our good eats, affordable living, friendly atmosphere, craft brew scene, new opportunities, and, of course, experiencing all four seasons! We're a big city, but not too big. There are very few degrees of separation and we value hard work. We're die-hard sports fans, perfectly positioned between the Great Lakes (on Lake Erie) and the Finger Lakes, and rich in history, architecture, and the arts.

Why Resurgence Brewing Co.?

We work hard. We have fun. We are a crazy family that loves innovation, creativity, and drive. We have award-winning beer and cider, a great atmosphere, and tasty eats!
