Business Owner

Ellicottville Brewing was founded in 1995 by beer maven Peter Kreinheder after a ski trip to Vail. 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, and known as "The Aspen of the East". This 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. EBC offers a number of flagship brews as well as an expanding line of bottled & draft beer, which has significantly grown in recent years. They've also grown in number of locations : with a second restaurant & bar, EBC West, in Fredonia, NY, and the brand-new lakeside brewpub Ellicottville Brewing on Chautauqua, opening in Bemus Point, NY summer 2016.
