BEER TASTING & HISTORY TOUR

Embark on a fun food and drink tasting tour through Buffalo's downtown with The Beer Ride. Immerse yourself as you explore Buffalo’s rich history of grain production and visit three modern-day craft distilleries.

The adventure begins in the historic Canal District, retracing the steps of Joseph "Black Joe" Hodge, Buffalo's first African American resident and tavern keeper. Pedal through downtown, once the center of German and Polish brewing industries, and learn the stories behind family breweries such as Iroquois, Schreiber, and Simon Pure.

The tour connects this history to the city’s resurgent craft industries by visiting three of the city’s best breweries. Enjoy tastings at each brewery, featuring flights to sample all the flavors, all included in the ticket price and complemented by delectable shareable snacks to power you through the ride.
