Resurgence Brewing Co. has already made its presence known in Buffalo, with its popular flagship brewery, tap room and restaurant at 55 Chicago St. that are part of Ellicott Development Co.'s Cooperage redevelopment project. That's where it relocated in 2018 after several years on Niagara Street.

Now the fast-growing craft brewery that is led by co-founder Jeff Ware wants to make a similar impact in the suburbs, just a few months after buying the Blackbird Cider Works brand and operations.

Resurgence wants to rehab and expand the former Pinnacle Automotive facility at 6585 Transit Road in Clarence, converting it into a brewery and tasting lounge.

It would include 780 square feet for the brewery, plus 2,575 square feet for a tasting room, with a smaller private tasting room to one side, as well as a kitchen, storage areas and a covered outdoor beer garden and patio in back. It would also have 79 parking spaces
