Brian stopped into the <strong>New York Beer Project Beer Lodge</strong> in Orchard Park on his way home from work, caught up with Head Brewer John Hyman, and grabbed a pour of a brand-new brew created to celebrate the Bills: <strong>Buffalo Billzner</strong>.</p><p><br></p><h3><strong>This Week's Featured Beer</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>Brewery:</strong> New York Beer Project (Orchard Park &amp; Lockport, NY)</li><li><strong>Beer:</strong> Buffalo Billzner</li><li><strong>Style:</strong> Buffalo-Style Pilsner</li><li><strong>ABV:</strong> 4.6%</li><li><strong>Brian’s Verdict:</strong> An absolute beauty in the glass. Sitting at a supremely crushable 4.6% ABV, it lands right at the crossroads of a German and an Italian-style pilsner. You get bright floral hops, big citrus and orange notes, a hint of spicy hop kick, and a clean, snappy finish that leaves zero crumbs behind. Easily one of the best beers NYBP has put out to date.</li></ul><h3><br></h3><p>Call \"Buffalo-Style Pilsner\" whatever you want, but mashing up the crisp precision of a German pilsner with the expressive, aromatic dry-hopping of an Italian pilsner is a match made in heaven. Brewed to celebrate the Bills kicking off in their new digs, this one is tailor-made for tailgates and game days—flavorful enough to savor, but light enough to drink through four quarters.</p><p>Just remember: it’s not in general distro. If you want cans or draft for the next game, you'll need to swing by the taprooms in Orchard Park or Lockport to grab it fresh!</p><p><br></p><h3><strong>Connect With the Buffalo Beer League</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>Website:</strong> <a href=\"https://BuffaloBeerLeague.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">BuffaloBeerLeague.com</a> — <em>Drop your email in the box on the right rail to catch our upcoming weekly newsletter!</em></li><li><strong>Hotline:</strong> 716-486-BEER (2337) — <em>Call in, leave a voicemail with what you're drinking, and we'll mail you out some stickers!</em></li><li><strong>Email:</strong> Brian@BuffaloBeerLeague.com</li><li><strong>Socials:</strong> @BuffaloBeerLeague (IG/Untappd/Threads) | @BuffBeerLeague (X)</li><li><strong>Dedicated Show IG:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.instagram.com/thebestbeeridrankthisweek\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@thebestbeeridrankthisweek</a></li></ul><p><strong>Are you grabbing a 4-pack of Buffalo Billszner for the next kickoff?
