Ellicottville Brewing was established in 1995 by our beer-loving founder after a ski trip to Vail, CO. Inspiration had struck: an authentic craft brewery would be the perfect match for the village of Ellicottville, located in the heart of New York ski country, also known as ‘The Aspen of the East’. This pairing of Old World brewing and winter-worshipping ski culture proved to be a success ahead of the trend, with EBC helping to lead a then-fledgling craft beer market.
Over the years, EBC has seen fantastic growth to both our portfolio of brews and our facility, with the original brewpub expanded into a brand new 8,000 sq. ft. restaurant, brew house and German beer garden in 2013.
