Buffalo On Tap Was Filled With Fun [PHOTOS]

There is a saying that has existed around Buffalo for years, and if you happened to stop by New York's Largest Craft Beer Festival, Buffalo On Tap, on Saturday, February 7, 2026, it would have proved itself to be an accurate description once again: Buffalo is a drinking city with a major sports problem.

Returning to the Buffalo Convention Center, the annual Buffalo On Tap festival that features craft brews, ciders, seltzers, mock cocktails, wine slushies, and more is back for 2026 and was bigger than ever. Over two sessions on a frigid Saturday afternoon and evening in Buffalo, hundreds of folks sampled dozens of different drinks while snow fell with arctic temperatures outside.

Buffalo On Tap is truly one of Buffalo’s biggest tailgate and pregame parties, especially as people started preparing for Saturday's lacrosse game in downtown Buffalo. Attendees had the opportunity to sample more than different drinks all in one place at one time.

Being that this is one of the best ways to be able to sample several different breweries, people had a chance to get drinks from places like like 2 Towns Ciderhouse, 1911 Established, 12 Gates, Big Ditch, Blakes Hard Cider Co., Collective Arts Brewing, Genesee, Great Lakes, Happy Dad, Ithaca, Kona, Labatt, Sun Cruiser, Southern Tier, Victory Brewing, and more.

Attendees could experience the Buffalo Brew Pub's Buffalo Beer Zone to support WNY Heroes, the Buffalo Gift Emporium Market, and a VIP area, plus great music from Boomerang! and Hair Nation.
