Ellicottville Brewing was founded in 1995 by beer maven Peter Kreinheder in the village of Ellicottville, located in the heart of New York ski country, known as “The Aspen of the East”. The pairing of Old World brewing styles and winter-worshipping ski culture proved to be a success ahead of the trend, with EBC helping to lead as an example for other craft brewers in a then-fledgling market. Ever since, EBC has seen fantastic growth to both its portfolio of brews and its facility, and in 2013 the original brewpub was transformed into a brand new 8,000 sq. EBC is known for a number of flagship brews as well as our page-turning new releases and expanding line of retail bottles, cans and in-house drafts, which has significantly grown in recent years. EBC has also grown in number of locations, now operating three brewpubs across Western New York including Bemus Point and Fredonia, NY. In 2017, Ellicottville Brewing opened a new production facility in Little Valley, NY, nearly tripling our production volume and opening the doors for even more room to experiment, innovate, and grow. The Little Valley facility is located within close proximity to the home base in Ellicottville and is set to open a 4th E.B.C. public pub at this location in 2020. EBC looks forward to our continued growth both domestically and internationally, at the same time staying true to our roots as an early-market pioneer and promoter of craft beer culture in Western New York. EBC’s slogan, “Brewed To Entertain”, encapsulates the spirit of every aspect of the company, from our beer to our food, the decor to on-premise events like concerts, festivals, and group tours. Be sure to plan a visit to our Ellicottville location for a tour and a truly entertaining experience, and follow Ellicottville Brewing Co. online for news and events.
