Mac’s Village Brewhaus: A good time is brewing
It was a frosty Thursday when Mike and I drove into the Village of Orchard Park to Mac’s Village Brewhaus. Lisa (a bubbly blond) greeted us right away and we ordered a pitcher of Labatt Blue Light, a double of Jamison on the rocks and a tall glass of Southern Comfort and Diet Coke for $20.
