“Finally good brewery in the area, so happy that we visited that place that offers very interesting beers. Their Pilsner and Lager are very solid. We also tried Farmhouse Ipa that offers interesting complexion of flavors as it is brewed and then put in barrels that once contained the wine lingering with its flavors almost like saison but keeping the good IPA profile. We will definitely visit again, hopefully soon!! :)“

“The staff always makes this a fun stop. The drinks are inventive and there’s so many flavors to choose from. Tim and the gang there make you want to stay. Don’t expect “normal” brewery beers though. There’s lots of flavors and flavor combinations possible. Talk to the really friendly and fun staff there and try some new stuff!“

“Our book club had a meeting here and it was amazing! Everyone was super accommodating, the food and room were great and we had an overall great time!! We hope to be back again soon!“

“Buffalo Creek Brewing is a lovely venue. I went there during the pandemic with my bicycle club and enjoyed the food trucks and great brews. It was so much fun to sit outside with the heaters and catch up with old friends. They also have a private room you can rent, which is perfect for a wedding, party, or reception. The ambiance is wonderful—you feel like you're surrounded by nature, yet you're still close to home.“
