This week on WNY Brews, we’ve got everything from new brewery openings to football watch parties and zested pilsners. Shuffle City Brewing is set to open this fall in Lockport (taking over the old Kendzies Bowling Alley), with Flying Bison’s Colin Herzog heading up the brewhouse. They’ll be crafting both traditional and non-alcoholic beers—follow their progress at ShuffleCityBrewing.com.

Resurgence Brewing just dropped Brightside Vibes, a new vodka soda canned cocktail line brewed with real fruit juice and cane sugar. Find them in two variety packs at their taproom and local liquor stores. Meanwhile, Bills fans can rejoice—Buffalo-themed beers are back on shelves just in time for preseason. From Circle the Wagons to Let’s Go Pils, there’s no shortage of game-day sips.

Speaking of the Bills, Southern Tier Buffalo is hosting weekly Hard Knocks watch parties every Tuesday at 9 pm, with $2 off BUF Brew’d beers and themed cocktails.

Lockport’s The Lock Tender celebrates one year on August 9 with a huge tasting event featuring breweries like Other Half, Foam, Drekker, and Dancing Gnome—plus food deals, merch discounts, and live music. Grab your tickets online or in person.

Hofbräuhaus Buffalo is tapping their Sommerzwickel on August 7 and giving away a private Oktoberfest Pedal Tour for 15 people (in-person entry only). And finally, Smoldered Society and Frequentem Brewing collaborated on a new zesty 3.9% pilsner, Engineered Hysteria, brewed with Saaz, Motueka, and lemon zest, then conditioned on oak.
