Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! 

Hold on, did you say Black… Lager? Lager beer can be dark?? You bet! Brian is back with more style history. Listen to find out about the ancient German roots that the Schwarzbier style has to offer. Accompanying the history, Brian selected a beer for the Lone Star State. 903 Brewers, north of Dallas, “Woe What a Night” fit the bill as a black lager. Now, grab a mysteriously dark lager beer of your own, and enjoy this week’s episode! 

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!
