That was an interesting read. I found this paragraph to be somewhat confusing and laughable:

"What makes Buffalo unique is its proximity to Canada. Having access to Labatt and Molson acts as a launching pad for people to consider other kinds of imports and microbrews," said Neil Kavanaugh, president and chief executive officer of Consumers Beverages."

I can only dream of the day I pull into Petro-Can and get a growler of Smashbomb. Its so unfair, why does Buffalo have to mock us?

Gas and growlers in Buffalo = the epitome of civilized alcohol laws?

Like one of the previous posters mentioned, they really are just flaunting it in our faces, and I love how the corporate dude actually admitted outright that the city's beer stores draw a significant amount of support from Canadian beer drinkers. I will definitely be checking this out next time I head to Buffalo.
