Buffalo on Tap 2016
Rusty Nickel Brewing Co. Head Brewer, Dave Johnson, speaks about craft beer and his experience at the 2016 Buffalo on Tap
Guys Telling Stories Podcast ft. Rusty Nickel Brewing Co.
Last week Rusty Nickel Brewing Co. was featured on the inaugural episode of the Guys Telling Stories Podcast! We were honored to be the first guests of the show, it was awesome to share the stories of our brewery and it’s beginnings with hosts Rich Douglas and Bill Easton.
Thanks to everyone that came out for the release party, a fantastic night! 
RNBC in the news; Garden of Eden Pumpkin Ale
Everywhere I turn I see the word “Pumpkin”, I guess that only means one thing… it’s PUMPKIN SEASON and here at Rusty Nickel Brewing Co., we take pumpkins seriously! People have been asking us since August where the ‘pumpkin beers’ are and our answer is always the same,
We use actual pumpkins while brewing!
Using actual pumpkins means this beer cannot be brewed until the pumpkins are perfectly ripe and ready. The Garden of Eden Pumpkin Ale is one of the oldest recipes our fabulous brewer, Dave, has. He uses pumpkins from Zittel’s Farm in Eden, NY grown specifically for this brew. The resulting beer is sweet, malty and has just the right amount of spice to make it taste like a pumpkin pie… Just like Grandma used to make! Dave’s special attention to this beer has not gone unnoticed, a few articles recognized Rusty Nickel Brewing Co. for the Garden of Eden Pumpkin Ale including:

Thanks for the love!
During our Harvest Fest weekend, RNBC had a limited release of our Smolderin Punkin, which also used actual pumpkins from Zittel’s Farm. There is only limited supply left, come try it while you still can! Smolderin Punkin is semi-sweet, malty, with hints of smokiness, vanilla and just the right amount of spice.
Garden of Eden is set for release in a few weeks, we will keep you updated on the exact date but while you wait, stop by and have a pint (or a few) with us! We have plenty on tap
CHEERS!
RNBC – An award winning brewery!
First off, to all of our Star War fans, #MayThe4thBeWithYou
Secondly, feels good to state that we are an Award Winning Brewery!!!
The Winning Announcement!
It was a banner day for us at RNBC Tuesday May 4th. Early in the day, we learned that we were voted the #1 brewery at Beerology!!! The event, which was hosted at the Buffalo Museum of Science, was attended by over 500 craft beer/science fans who tasted sampled from over 25 different breweries. We brought ‘Not Yo’ Grandpas’ Cream Ale and ‘Polar Vortex’ Belgian Dubbel. Did you know, that our ‘Polar Vortex’ checked in as the ‘highest calorie’ filled beer by the beer judges at Beerology?! Well, both are still on tap at our brewery but in limited quantities, so stop by soon to try!
Bring people like Cheryl Johnson and Jen Breier to rep your table. You come home with the hardware.
We are truly honored to have won this award, and surprised in the sense that we had only been open one month and was ‘up against’ some serious ‘competitors’ like Southern Tier, CBW, Big Ditch and many more. We ‘underdogs’ really are blessed and very thankful that the folks at Beerology voted for us working class guys who have been grinding day in and day out, burning midnight oil in the name of putting out a quality beer and brand. Cheers to you for diggin’ our fruits of our labor!
Special thanks to Jen Breier and Cheryl Johnson. They spent that their Saturday with us and made it an award winning experience for those who came to our table! Also, cheers to Community Beer Works who placed in a close 2nd place.
A winning selfie on the stage from the Beacon Awards
Continuing in our winning ways, we attended the 5th annual Visit Buffalo Niagara’s Beacon Awards as nominees for the Tourism Initiative of the Year award. We were part of a team with the other WNY Breweries as the Craft Beer category. The announcement from the presenter stated “In a no brainier decision…the winner is Craft Beer in WNY!” This event was held at the Buffalo Convention Center at 12pm and held over 500 business people from multiple service and tourist related businesses in the WNY region. The trophy was then presented to us, Flying Bison and Riverworks on stage in front of the large group. Check out the selfie we took while we accepted the award too!
Thanks again to all who helped us win Best Brewery at Beerology and to those who continue to #drinkLocal and support the growing, and popular WNY Craft Brewing scene. Cheers goes to you!
