About Thin Man

Buffalo’s greatest undiscovered export, Thin Man Brewery went from plucky upstart to one of New York State's biggest and best brewing operations in a relatively short time.

Thin Man Brewery went from plucky upstart to one of Buffalo’s biggest brewing operations in a relatively short time.

Thin Man has a pedigree behind it. Mike Shatzel had just closed two months prior to Thin Man’s opening down the street. Shatzel's family are behind legendary Buffalo bars like Brennan’s Bowery Bar and Cole’s. Rudy Watkins, who co-founded Community Beer Works in Buffalo, runs the brewhouse.
