> [@Jam](#): > > yes. community beer works should reside in that building. I would be there every day haha. I am either way on them. I love their business model and really dedicated themselves to the community, delivering kegs, and not getting too big too fast but my big Buffalo brewed beer is Big Ditch. Not big on Flying Bison and CBW when I first started drinking them gave me a bad taste for them but the recent ones seem to have been much better. Woodcock Brothers up in Wilson is growing on me, just so far so you need to make a day of it. ---

Ethan from CBW is a little beer wizard. He did the tap installation at my new employer, Toutant. That said, I just picked up the blood orange ale from Elysian and some Sixpoint Crisp. Toutant has an exclusive custom cider from Leonard Oakes called Sidredoa, a blend of french and spanish cider styles. Super, super dry, light effervescence, nothing like any other cider I have ever tried. ---

That’ll be a 10min walk from my new place of employment and it’s a restaurant I’m really excited about. I had the Elysian Space Dust IPA and it was really good. Also, yes…Ethan would be the go-to guy for anything beer related. I worked with him briefly while he was a philosophy teacher at D’Youville and got to chat with him before he left to start CBW. ---

Super, super dry, light effervescence, nothing like any other cider I have ever tried. That sounds interesting. The drier ciders are pretty refreshing esp when the weather is warm. That restaurant looks pretty awesome. Interested to check it out. ---

The menu is certainly focused on NOLA/Creole/Bayou, but it really is an encompassment of southern cuisine all together. Here is a dinner menu [http://static1.squarespace.com/static/540a2055e4b02af565ff4b8b/t/554826c0e4b0109182088395/1430791872796/Toutant+Dinner+Menu\_5'15.pdf](http://static1.squarespace.com/static/540a2055e4b02af565ff4b8b/t/554826c0e4b0109182088395/1430791872796/Toutant+Dinner+Menu_5%2715.pdf) ---

Super, super dry, light effervescence, nothing like any other cider I have ever tried. Those are the best ciders. There’s a cider from CNY that sounds really similar to what you’re describing, can’t remember the name though. ---

Wife and I did a trip down to Watkins Glen this weekend, stopped at a bunch of wineries along Seneca Lake. We found this place called Climbing Bines Hop Farm, awesome place. I tried the Dunklewiezen, Blonde, Amber from there House Line, also tried the cider which was excellent ended coming home with some since wife liked it as well. I also really liked Earle Estates Meadery, if you have never had mead I suggest going there. ---
