NIAGARA FALLS — A new brewery is and tap room is coming to Niagara Street, compliments of Buffalove Development and Community Beer Works.
The brewery, announced just before noon at a press conference by the developers, will feature “a small-scale brewing operation and tap room,” according to CBW’s Ethan Cox. The second floor of the brewery, which is to be located in the former Press Box at 324 Niagara St., will be for recreational gaming. The third floor will be a “flex-space” to be used as needed.
Mayor Paul Dyster, who referred to himself as “a beer guy,” said, “I think there’s an expectation that there’s got to be a brewpub or a brewery in Niagara Falls.” Now there will be.
Dyster, who owns Niagara Tradition, a distributor of supplies for beer and winemaking, says he has a longtime relationship with Cox and, as a result, stayed out of the process until it was done.
Cox said CBW is “very excited to move outside of Buffalo and expand in this direction. … Creating a sense of place and a feeling a community is a big part of our mission.”
The new brewery will be the first brewing operation in Niagara Falls in 75 years.
