The Erie Canal Brewing Company has been serving up great tasting beer since 2013. Did you know that they use ALL local ingredients in their drinks?

Our friends get most of their ingredients from a farm in Chittenango. The brewery boasts that their beer is made from ingredients 100 percent grown in Madison County.

“It’s costly, but that’s what customers want — a real local brew,” said Erie Canal co-owner and beer maker Jason Tedford. “A lot of ‘farm-based’ beers are not real at only 20 percent [local ingredients]. If we as brewers continue to use local ingredients, it should not be because of the legislation, but because it is the right thing to do.”

Currently the brewery has two brews on tap: Muleskinner Pale Ale, and Henneberg Caz Common. To schedule a tasting, you can find more info on their Facebook page.
