They said if you do what you love for a living you never work a day in your life. I assume the crew over at Big Ditch love what they do and it looks like their customers also love what they do.


According to the post, it took Big Ditch less than three years to fill 10 million cans of beer. They opened their production facility on Oak Street in Buffalo in June of 2022.

Big Ditch has several different beers they produced but they are best known for the Hayburner. It is an IPA beer named after the hard-working donkeys that worked on the Erie Canal back in the Day.

If you haven't figured it out, Big Ditch is all about the Erie Canal. The Erie Canal was nicknamed "The Big Ditch" when it was constructed in 1825. It was the first canal to connect the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean and made Buffalo one of the biggest cities in the 1800s.

The Erie Canal is currently 351 miles long and you can still travel down it during the warmer months of the year.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. 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.
