Erie County Legislator John Mills visited newly-opened First Line Brewing in Orchard Park to congratulate owners Shane Stewart and Michael Maiorana with a proclamation from the Erie County Legislature.

First Line celebrated its grand opening on August 22, 2020 and is the first brewery to open up shop in Orchard Park. The brewery donates a portion of proceeds to veterans and first responders as a way to honor and recognize them.

Legislator Mills said, “It was an honor to meet Shane and Michael, two young entrepreneurs who started this unique, patriotic business during a pandemic. Their passion for paying tribute to our veterans and first responders is truly admirable. I welcome them to the Orchard Park business community, and wish them nothing but continued success.”

First Line Brewing is located at 4906 South Buffalo Street in the Village of Orchard Park. A copy of the proclamation introduced by Legislator Mills can be viewed here.
