The Erie Canal opened in 1825, connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean by way of the Hudson River. When the plan for the Canal was presented, skeptics never thought it would materialize. They jokingly referred to it as “Clinton’s Big Ditch” after the New York State governor whochampionedtheproject.Butwhenitwasfilledwithwater,theBig Ditch changed Buffaloforever andmarkedthebeginningofmorethan 100 years of prosperity for theCity of Buffalo. The Big Ditch remains a part of us today. We still embody the spirit of the men that built the Canal with their bare hands. As with the prosperity that followed the completionoftheCanal,Buffalotodayisacityreborn.Andthosewhoare shaping the next 100 years of prosperity are the ones we brew Big Ditch beer for. Made from the best ingredients available, and crafted with just the right balance of art and science, Big Ditch beers are innovative, flavorful and drinkable…glass after glass. What's Included: BOGO

Beer Justice Brewing Co., is located in our hometown of Arcade, south-east of Buffalo. We designed the space so everyone would feel comfortable. The front bar room has the old style taproom feel with lots of hightops and TVs for that loud, laughter environment. There is seating on the front patio that is shaded and screened with hops for a more casual, quiet space. The middle (military room) is an area where parties can push together seating and enjoy sharing a brew together. The brewhouse has a quiet seating area with a game shelf for kids (or big kids), and chalk boards to leave messages. We also have an outdoor area for yard games and furry friends. People always ask us about our name. During the early stages of planning, Paul was serving as the town justice. Playing off that idea, he came up with beer justice brewing, doing beer justice.
