For this week’s episode we are joined by Kansas City bartender and the co-founder of J. Rieger & Co. distillery, Ryan Maybee. Maybee is a pioneer for craft spirits and cocktails in the Midwest, so he has plenty of insight to share with us. During our chat we discuss the story behind the founding of his distillery, and the work that went into revitalizing a lost style of American whiskey. And we also discuss the closing of his two seminal bars, Manifesto and the Rieger, which both played a massively influential role within the local cocktail scene.
