Chandler Street Brewery Abruptly Closes

Beer lovers in Western New York were shocked by a post on social media from a very popular brewery in the 716.

Popular Buffalo Brewery Abruptly Shuts Down

As someone who loves trying new locally crafted beer, I was shocked by the news that the owners of the Chandler Street Brewery closed down their three breweries this week.

Chandler Street Breweries owned and operated Thin Man Brewery, Community Beer Works, and Smoldered Society, which are all now closed.

There is some good news for fans of the breweries: you can still find some of their beers at local supermarkets. I was at the Wegmans on Transit Road in Lancaster on Friday, and there were still some six-packs available for sale.

On the flip side of the breweries closing, a new bakery opened in Western New York
