 Cucumber Saison 
Resurgence Brewing Company, 1250 Niagara St, Buffalo 

Resurgence Brewing is looking to add a new beer to your summer drinking lineup—cucumber saison, which would be perfect for front porch imbibing if the warmer weather were to ever remember Buffalo’s existence. “Fresh, bright cucumber flavors mix well with lemongrass and dill pickle notes you get from sorachi ace hops,” said head brewer Dave Collins. This local-focused saison uses an all-New York grain bill courtesy of New York Craft Malt as well as a healthy dose of fresh cucumbers. Expect all the farmhouse funk you love in your favorite saisons augmented by fresh, grassy, green garden flavors.

 Big Ditch & Toutant 
Toutant, 437 Ellicott St, Buffalo
1st Anniversary Party, May 17 

Big Ditch Brewing & Toutant Buffalo have teamed up to brew a new Czech-style pilsner in celebration of their collective one-year anniversaries. The new (approximately) 4.8% ABV pilot batch beer was brewing using all noble hops and lager yeast, giving it ‘a nice crackery malt bite and a floral and spicy hop character,’ according to Big Ditch’s Matt Kahn. The beer will be available at Big Ditch/Toutant’s 1st Anniversary Party, which takes place May 17 at Big Ditch. Though the new pilsner was brewed exclusive for the party, Kahn plans to squeeze it into their regular production schedule for both Ellicott Street venues.
