Some of My Buffalo NY beer bottle collection

I generally collect soda bottles or as much as I can anyway because they are my favorites. But buffalo is an hour away from me and had about 29 breweries or more back before prohibition so finding their bottles around my area is not that uncommon. I always enjoy finding one from a brewery that I don’t have.
I have bottles from about 10 different breweries so far from Buffalo Ny.

Heres only some of the examples I own!
