In this episode, we’re talking about one of our favorite points of Buffalo history: the Pan American Exposition. The Pan-Am had everything: state-of-the-art architecture, food and beer, a midway, music, crime and scandal… all that good stuff. (For this reason, expect future Pan-Am episodes, because we can only fit so much into one episode.) In addition, we discuss a newer style of beer being produced by two Pearl St. breweries in Buffalo! Well then, let us off at Buffalo!
