How Buffalo RiverWorks brewery solved its space constraints
Building inside old grain silo forces Buffalo RiverWorks to get creative in moving spent grain.
The summers have gotten a lot busier for Chris Herr, head brewer for Buffalo RiverWorks brewery in Buffalo, NY.
The $2.3 million facility, constructed entirely in an abandoned grain silo along the Buffalo River, is the center of an entire entertainment complex, complete with sports arenas, an indoor rolling skating rink, restaurants and climbing walls. In one week alone, 1,000 gallons of beer were sold to eager patrons at the bar within the formerly abandoned silo.
