10 WNY Breweries That Deserve Way More Credit [LIST]

Here in Western New York, we do a lot of things well. Food and drinks are definitely two of those things. In fact, you could argue those are two things we do best.

When it comes to drinks, Buffalo absolutely loves their craft beer, hard ciders and seltzers.

It's unreal how many awesome breweries we have in this region. From Buffalo to Rochester and from Niagara County to the southern tier -- it's an embarrassment of riches.

BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
