“CENTRAL TERMINALE” LAUNCH WITH BUFFALO BREWING COMPANY
The Buffalo Central Terminal has also partnered with their neighbors at Buffalo Brewing Company to present “Central Terminale,” a pre-prohibition style amber ale brewed in honor of Oktoberfest at the Terminal. A portion of proceeds from the sale of “Central Terminale” will support the rehabilitation of the Buffalo Central Terminal. Release of this special brew will happen this week at Buffalo Brewing Company’s Myrtle Avenue tap room.
“This partnership echoes our slogan ‘Good Neighbors, Great Beer.’ The Buffalo Central Terminal and our renovation of Schreiber Brewing run on parallel tracks. Even though each project is happening independent of one-another, they both will have a profound effect on Broadway-Fillmore and the East Side,” said John Domres, Jr., owner of Buffalo Brewing Company.
You aren’t going to want to miss out on this special brew that features the historic Buffalo Central Terminal on the label. “Central Terminale” is smooth and creamy with a deep garnet hue, and this amber ale features a firm bitterness with notes of toffee and dark caramel. This historical style pays homage to the golden age of train transportation.
