Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! 

Brian had his palate put to the test yet again! His good friends Sam Marten and David King brought the idea to create a price point taste test of Pilsner styled beer. With all three in town for a friend’s 30th birthday party, they decided to hop on the pod together. Despite the lack of difference in price the four beers they blindly tasted were Coors, Coors Light, Saturday Beer Co. Special Pilsner, and Licher Premium Pilsner all the way from Germany. Join in on the fun today and listen to see if we conquered this challenge or went home with a loss! 

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!
