Buffalo Beer Buzz, September 25th, 2026

We are back together on a Friday evening to kick off the weekend and toast to 9-to-5 day! Brian is officially back from a whirlwind family trip to Disney World—nursing sore joints like any respectable 45-year-old who attempted rope-dropping across four parks—and cracking open his last can of Wayland Brewing’s Split Rail Lager from the Borderland Festival stash. Scott is pouring his own homebrewed Festbier/Oktoberfest, hitting its absolute sweet spot at eight to nine weeks in the keg just in time for week three of Bills football. Between sorting out game day beer plans, discussing family connections at Borderland, and sending love and support to the team at the Mayhew Drive Consumers Beverages in Hamburg following their recent fire, there is a ton of Western New York craft beer news to dig into. Catch the full video edition, glassware views, and screen shares on the Buffalo Beer Buzz Playlist on YouTube.
