[BEER] The venerable West Side startup brewer, Community Beer Works, announced it would be resurrecting Buffalo’s strongest historical beer brand, Iroquois Beer, a regional, easy-drinking, American light lager. There are layers inherent in such a project, and one of those is the racist appropriation of Native American culture. And not just because they advertise with us but because they try their damndest to put good back into the world—hosting dozens of fundraisers in their brewery for groups like Planned Parenthood, the International Institute, and Friends of the Night People—if anyone can be trusted to exercise sensitivity and make a beer we can all be proud of, we believe it’s Community Beer Works. The Iroquois Beverage Co. Launch Party takes place this Thursday, February 1 at Hotel Henry.
