The Classics

More than Flagships.

The first craft brewery to open its doors in Rochester New York, Rohrbachs has been handcrafting ales and lagers for 30 years and counting. These brews are our tried-and-true that have been perfected over time. They’re more than flagships, they’ve stood the test of time, they are classics. Discover these beers at our Railroad St. Beer Hall or Buffalo Rd. Brewpub or see where you can find Rohrbach beer here. Our classic beers are widely distributed throughout Upstate NY in 4-packs of 16oz cans. If you’re new to Rohrbachs or even new to Rochester, be sure to try our famous flagship Scotch Ale.
