Situated in the historic post office building at 1 East Street, the second Big Ditch Brewery has officially opened its doors in Lockport.
This new establishment boasts a spacious taproom and brewery, accommodating up to 250 patrons across two levels. Guests can enjoy a bar area, an outdoor patio, and private event spaces. Additionally, a small brewing facility will be dedicated to crafting unique beers, allowing visitors to sample fresh creations.
Matt Kahn, president and co-founder of Big Ditch, expressed enthusiasm about the new location, stating, “Lockport has a vibrant history, a strong community spirit, and an increasing appetite for quality beer and food. Conversations with local officials last year made it clear that this was the right time for Big Ditch to set up shop here.”
The original Big Ditch Brewery has been operating on East Huron Street in Buffalo since 2015. The Lockport site is separate from earlier plans for a location on Transit Road in Williamsville, which faced delays due to the pandemic. Kahn mentioned that while the Transit Road project is not currently a priority, it remains a possibility for the future.
The new Lockport brewery will operate from 4 pm to 10pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays; 11am to 11pm on Fridays; 12pm to 11pm on Saturdays; and 12pm to 8pm on Sundays. It will be closed on Tuesdays.
