Beginning March 6, Ash Wednesday, and every Friday throughout Lent, Chartwells will serve beer batter fish sandwiches featuring locally brewed Rusty Chain vienna style beer, fries and a drink for only $5, courtesy of Flying Bison Brewing Company.
Chartwells will also raffle off a bicycle courtesy of GObike Buffalo and will give away tickets to this year’s SkyRide on Sunday, May 19.
A beloved Buffalo mainstay, Flying Bison Brewing Company, is the first stand-alone brewery to operate in the city since Iroquois Brewing closed in 1972. Since 2007, Flying Bison has partnered with GObike Buffalo to support its mission of building a thriving, dynamic and connected city by promoting biking, alternative transportation options and improved streetscapes. GObike Buffalo encourages bicyclists of all ages and interest levels through their community bike workshop, the installation of signature bike racks, community education, and creating fun, innovative and highly anticipated events.
Each year, GObike Buffalo hosts the SkyRide, a fundraiser that brings thousands of cyclists on a citywide tour of historic locations, highway infrastructure and new bicycle facilities. Riders experience the scenic views of downtown Buffalo and the waterfront from the 100-foot-high skyway and Olmsted’s parks and parkways by bicycle.
