To date, EBC is considered one of the finest craft brewers and has received no less than THREE International World Beer Championship Awards.

The Ellicottville Brewing Company is the result of the desire to open a family business. Inspiration struck during a ski trip to Vail, where other craft brewers began. There was the realization that Ellicottville, sometimes referred to as "the Aspen of the East", would be the perfect location for a craft brewery & grill.

After 10 years of building a successfull brewery & restaurant in Ellicottville, our team ventured to open a second location where we could build on our brewing & culinary talents. EBC West opened June 1st, 2005 in the fun-filled college town of Fredonia, home to SUNY Fredonia.
