Buffalo City Distillery

Episode 9 of the Northern OBX Podcast features Buddy Byrum, owner of Buffalo City Distillery, for a fascinating journey through history, heritage, and handcrafted spirits. Buddy shares the inspiration behind the Buffalo City name and the remarkable story of Buffalo City as a bustling milling town that played a surprising role during the Prohibition era—becoming one of the largest suppliers of spirits at the time. Today, that legacy lives on through Buddy’s farm-to-bottle distillery in Point Harbor on the Mainland of The Northern Outer Banks. From tastings and tours to craft cocktails in the tasting room, Buddy invites visitors crossing the Wright Memorial Bridge to slow down and savor a true local experience. Cheers to North Carolina’s craft beverage history!
