Buffalo Happy Hour

Anonymous of course, however, after tasting classes the attendees like to fill out little sheets. These two were incredible and worth sharing. Wanted to post it because yes it’s different however also authentic. We love to teach about spirits. Our classes are a total vibe and off the cuff filled with real tangible information. Of course we highly recommend attending. Be on the look out for our posts because we teach twice a month. Thank you for those that wrote this, we appreciate you! “Anything with Buffalo Happy Hour” hits different 😂🥃👏🏻👏🏻

Today, we sat down with our friend DJ RanKan to talk about his journey from DJing iTEEN to being one of the biggest corporate DJs in the world.

Ryan not only talked about his progression to get to where he is, but also a lot of personal aspects that makes his path even more relatable. Success, failure, struggles, and life changes resonate with everyone, and pushing through to find that next open door is pivotal.

Last night we made our rounds discussing all things BHH and Neat Notes. In doing so, drinks were had and logged. Also saw friends all around Buffalo. Sometimes you just need a night out. One thing that never gets old - the hospitality around the city and suburbs. Amazing people fill this city, never forget that. 🥃

Allocations are changing, inventory is changing, the industry is shifting. What are your thoughts on this as a whole?

DOWN 70%: U.S. spirits exports to Canada fell 70% between March and December 2025, according to data from the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. Eric Gregory, the president of the Kentucky Distillers' Association, said the numbers reflect a painful reality for the state's bourbon industry. More below.
