CBW Elmwood & Bidwell

The future is bright, Community Beer Works is growing. We’re opening a second location in the heart of the Elmwood Village at 976 Elmwood Ave that is set to open later this year. Community is the core of who we are, and as we embark on our next chapter we’re going to build something special for the city of Buffalo.

 

POSSIBILITY

Our new location at Elmwood & Bidwell will be a vibrant hub for our city. The space will serve as an extension of the park
and will offer dynamic beer & food pairings, unique collaborations, events, curated grab & go options, plus so much more! Our current home at 520 7th Street isn’t going anywhere & will remain open! As we grow there’s an opportunity for us to reimagine how we use our current location. The possibilities are endless.

 

PROMISE

We believe in brewing world-class beer here in the city of good neighbors and are committed to building community in all that we do. We strive to empower our supporters to love their own fate and to spark joy through our shared love of beer. As we grow we embrace change while staying true to our values. There’s so much to be excited about, we can’t wait to see you at the intersection of possibility & promise where all are welcome.
