The FX Matt Brewing Company has announced the sale of its Flying Bison Brewing Company brands to Hamburg Brewing Company.

The agreement transfers ownership of the Flying Bison brand family, including all associated recipes and trademarks, to Hamburg Brewing, ensuring the legacy of one of Buffalo’s pioneering craft beer names continues under local stewardship.

“Flying Bison has deep roots in Buffalo’s brewing history, and we’re proud of the role we played in
supporting and sustaining that heritage over the past 15 years,” said Fred Matt, president and CEO of FX
Matt Brewing Company. “Hamburg Brewing is a respected and community-focused craft brewery with a
strong presence in Western New York. We’re confident they’re the right partner to carry the Flying Bison
legacy forward.”

“We couldn’t be prouder to carry on the traditions of Flying Bison beer. There isn’t a brand that shouts Buffalo more and we are excited to return its ownership home to Western New York,” John Russo, president, Hamburg Brewing Company, said.

Under the new ownership, Hamburg Brewing Company will continue to produce and distribute Flying Bison’s
signature beers ensuring continued availability for loyal fans throughout the region.

As part of the transition, the Flying Bison Taproom will close following its final day of service on Saturday,
November 29. The taproom has been an important community space for Buffalo’s craft beer fans, and
FX Matt Brewing Company extends its appreciation to all who supported it over the years.

Both breweries emphasized their shared commitment to craft quality, local pride, and strengthening New York state’s independent brewing community.
