The Monogram and the Wettest Block: Kansas City's Distilling Heritage In this episode of the Whiskey Ring Podcast, we're heading down to Kansas City, Missouri, to chat with Ryan Maybee, the co-founder of J. Rieger & Company. Ryan takes us on a journey from his early days as a bartender to the exciting revival of the historic J. Rieger brand, which originally flourished from 1887 until Prohibition put a stop to it all. We kick things off by discussing how the focus of Ryan's interviews has shifted over the years—from cocktail culture to the innovative whiskeys now coming out of J. Rieger. He dives into the unique terroir of Kansas City and how it plays a crucial role in their whiskey production, including their straight bourbon, bottled-in-bond bourbon, bottled-in-bond rye, and the fascinating Monogram whiskey, which features sherry—a nod to the blending practices of yesteryear. We also explore the rich whiskey history of Kansas City before Prohibition, the nuances of state laws affecting the spirits industry, and the distinction between Missouri bourbon and Kansas City whiskey. Ryan shares the story of how they navigated the TTB to establish Kansas City whiskey as a recognized category, highlighting their commitment to honoring the brand's roots while pushing the envelope in modern whiskey-making. As we wrap up, Ryan gives us a peek into the production process at J. Rieger, their upcoming 10th anniversary celebration, and what the future holds for the brand. This episode is a captivating exploration of the intersection of history, innovation, and the craft of whiskey-making in Kansas City. So grab a glass, sit back, and enjoy the ride!

Always fun to sit down with Philip Duff Show stalwart Tony Sachs and go over all the happenings of the year! We covered AI, ChatGPT's cocktail skillz, Skrewball whiskey, gonzo "collabs" like Absolut's vodka sauce made with Heinz and Empirical's Doritos flavour, and discussed the deafening silence around Jason Momoa's Meili vodka, the dastardly abv-lowering deeds of Beefeater Gin, and the likeability of Keanu Reeves. Along the way we had some fancy Tequila Ocho bottlings, the delicious El Viaje raicilla, Charbay's surprisingly tasty R5 hopped whisky, Ryan Maybee's fine J Rieger Rye whiskey, some 1980s Ancient Age bourbon, and (after judicious application of a hammer) some Chartreuse Elixir Vegetal. But, the big news was we fired up the mini copper still I brought Tony back from Lisbon, and distilled a can of Stella Artois into something that wasn't half-bad! Duff-Sachs Distilling is now open for business. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Boozie Banter Podcast. We are not certain how we are already in October, but a chill is in the air and we have a lust for spirits in our hearts. In our continuing effort to surround ourselves with people much smarter than us, we welcome Ryan Maybee into the studio. Restauranteur, cocktail artist, modern Whiskey Baron and all around booze industry Renaissance Man, I'm hoping that he also responds well to flattery, because it's our go-to move during interviews and the cocktails always taste better when they are made with a real smile.

Brian Nation is best known for his work as Master Distiller at Ireland's Midleton Distillery, and he shocked Irish whiskey lovers when he stepped down nearly a year ago to join the startup O'Shaughnessy Distilling Co. in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Covid kept him from making the move with his family until a couple of weeks ago, so he did much of his work remotely from Ireland with occasional trips to Minnesota. Now, the distillery is complete along with Brian's first batch of Keeper's Heart Irish + American Whiskey, a blend of Irish Single Pot Still and grain whiskies with American Rye whiskey. He joined us from the distillery for our #HappyHourLive webcast the other night, along with J. Rieger & Co. co-founder Ryan Maybee. The Kansas City distillery is releasing its first Bottled in Bond Rye Whiskey this week, and it's the first whiskey legally distilled in Kansas City since the end of Prohibition.

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.

Building a great brand or business is a rigorous and often frustrating process. But what about rebuilding a business that has been closed for ages? In order to rebuild a business to its former glory, you will have to re-establish your network, restore your business community relationships, and find ways to develop your product according to your current market. In this podcast episode, the Matts welcome their guest Andy Rieger, founder of J. Rieger & Co. Andy is the third generation grandson of Jacob Rieger. J. Rieger & Co originally started in Kansas in 1887, only to meet an early demise in 1919 with the onset of the 18th Amendment and Federal Prohibition.   In 2012 Andy Rieger and Ryan Maybee, a career bartender and restaurateur, set out to revive this historic brand. Together, they formed a bond drawn from their shared vision of re-establishing, not only Andy’s family legacy but also reviving the distilling industry in Kansas City. In 2014, the duo relaunched J. Rieger & Co., Kansas City’s first distillery since prohibition, through the release of “Rieger’s Kansas City Whiskey”, a unique style of American Whiskey that pays tribute to J. Rieger & Co.’s history. Learn from the challenges that Andy faced on rebuilding his family’s historical business and how he was able to grow the demand for their product in Kansas City in just 4 years.   Learn more about:   Full Scale: https://fullscale.io/   Stackify: https://stackify.com/   J.

Robert Simonson writes about cocktails. A lot. He’s cemented himself as a senior cocktail scribe for publications like the New York Times, Imbibe, Punch and Muck Rack since first stumbling across Tales of the Cocktail in 2006, just as the cocktail renaissance was gathering steam. He’s also got three books about drinks to his name: The Old Fashioned, A Proper Drink and 3-Ingredient Cocktails, some of which chronicle the history of the drinks in question and some of which focus more on the recipes themselves. In September, he’ll be releasing his fourth book on the topic: The Martini. And in our Free Pour segment, we head to Kansas City to speak to one of the most decorated bartenders and hospitality professionals you can find. Ryan Maybee owns cocktail haunt Manifesto, The Rieger Hotel Grill & Exchange and now a distillery, J. Rieger & Co.

If you're a foodie or whiskey drinker in KC, you probably already know who Ryan Maybee is. If you don't, you probably should.

Long-celebrated as one of the best cocktail bars in the city, Manifesto represents so much of what people have come to love about Kansas City. Artisan approach. Off-the-beaten-path cool. Midwestern hospitality. Behind it all is bartender Ryan Maybee. We talked to him about his roots, creating recipes and developing talent.

What kind of life and business lessons can be learned from a bartender and restaurant owner? In Ryan Maybee's case, numerous tips on leadership, culture, building a brand and more with stories dating back to the prohibition era.

Missouri native Ryan Maybee has been at the helm of the cocktail movement in Kansas City. Although a different career choice than most of his family, the roots of hospitality and hosting were imbued by his grandmother. He has amassed multiple, highly lauded cocktail establishments, including the pensive Manifesto. But as his ambition guided him into new projects, the historical Rieger name started to resurface via a hotel and now an amazing distillery. Ryan continues to man his KC staples but has now enlarged his resume to include a "traveling spirits owner". We talk grunge, whiskey, and subconscious symbolism. 

Founded in 1887, Kansas City's J. Rieger & Co, was forced to close in 1919 with the advent of Prohibition. At the time the renowned distillery produced over 100 brands. J. Rieger & Co was resurrected in 2014 with a dynamic line of Kansas City style whiskey, gin, vodka and amaro. Ryan Maybee, co owner of J. Rieger & Co, as well as The Rieger restaurant and Manifesto, a speakeasy style cocktail bar, both located at the historic Rieger Hotel. discusses Kansas City's spirited cocktail revival.This show is brought to you by Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

Today on The Speakeasy, Ryan Maybee joins us in the studio to pour us some Kansas City Whiskey, a name that J. Rieger & Co. pitched to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, and got the thumbs up. Rieger's whiskey blends corn, malt, and straight whiskeys with a bit of 15-year-old Oloroso Sherry from the Williams & Humbert bodega in Jerez, Spain.
