Buffalo Brewing Update

I’ve mentioned Buffalo Brewing a couple of times now, but it’s looks like we’re in the home stretch now. According to Dave from O’Fallon Brewery the final inspections are occurring and he hopes to be brewing on Sunday. Wondering what kind of beers they plan on offering? Well lucky for you, Buffalo Brewing now has a website which also provides a quick rundown of their first beer offerings:
Buffalo Gold
Is brewed with premium American barley, wheat and imported hops. This light colored ale has a light malt flavor and smooth finish
5% ABV - 15 IBUChili Beer
Our Fun Beer!
Is brewed with highly modified premium American Barley, wheat and imported hops. Our chili ale has a light flavor and subtle spiciness.
5% ABV- 15IBUBuffalo Drool
Our interpretation of the American Brown Ale. It’s brewed with six American grains and American hops. Our brown ale has a strong malt backbone and slight chocolate flavor, with a hint of hops in the finish
5.5% - 15 IBUBuffalo Red
It’s brewed with four premium American grains and premium American hops. Our red ale has a strong malt backbone and a high hop flavor.
5.6% - 30 IBU
Buffalo Drool sounds a lot like Moose Drool from Big Sky Brewery in Montana. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Moose Drool, so if Buffalo Drool is anything like it, we’re in for a treat.
Edit: Dave informed me that they’re also be carrying two seasonal beers, starting with a Bavarian Hefe and a Rye IPA.

That’s the same thing I thought when I read Buffalo Drool.
With the coming of Buffalo Brewing, what is the verdict on the area’s most recent addition - Granite City? I went a couple weeks ago but I’d like to see what other’s are thinking.

I was planning on going to Pappy’s Smoke house tonight, but I may drop by here instead. Woo-hoo!

Dave posted that there will be two rotating taps as well. One of the first set will be a Rye IPA. It’s in a thread on BA: http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/1259945

The old Yippie-I-O Grill / Brewpub
( RIP ) in O’Fallon, MO had a similar brew called Buffalo Drool. It was ok, but they used to serve it in frozen mugs, too cold. As for GC, I went once and probably won’t return. The beer was average as was the food and the bar area was like a big, noisy singles bar.
