42 North Brewing Company’s robust catalog of Barrel-Aged beers will be coming to Ellicottville as the brewery has partnered with Ellicottville Coffee Company to establish “The Outpost”.

For 42 North and the Ellicottville Coffee Company, The Outpost is a great space to ‘fuel your adventure” while experiencing the great outdoors in Ellicottville. “As 42 North continues to produce more barrel-aged products, we needed to expand our footprint so more folks in the region could experience these styles of beers,” says 42 North Founder, John Cimperman.

Of the partnership with Ellicottville Coffee Company, Cimperman says, “We share a passion for adventure, we love the outdoors, and have always viewed Ellicottville as an important market for the brewery. The opportunity to work with John Rounds and his team was a natural.”
