Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! 

Oktoberfest SZN! This truly is the most wonderful time of the year. BWB fans may recall Brian covered the history behind the Marzen style last year. On this episode he discusses the differences between the classic Marzen and the modern Festbier. To aid in the process he selected a fine offering from Noon Whistle out of Illinois.. Now, don some lederhosen, grab a stein, a pretzel and enjoy this week’s episode!

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! 

Brian brings you the fourth round of this (alleged) snack size series. Celebrating the people that give him beer is just as important as celebrating the beer itself! This week Brian features a beer given to him by his family as they were out on a big road trip. The beers pack a nostalgic bunch as they hail from Morgantown, WV. Chestnut Brew Works was one of Brian’s favorite places to enjoy a pint during his time as a grad student at WVU. Sit back, relax, and raise a pint to Brian’s family for bringing this beer to the show! 

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! 

Back to back weeks of style history, say what?!? Brian is happy to tell the tales of this not so common style. Listen to this episode to learn more about a style a falling giant in the beer industry anchored their portfolio with (pun intended). Brian kept it local to Wisconsin, pulling a beer from a relatively new (and very good might he add) brewery, Supermoon. Beer fans will find supermoon in Milwaukee, WI. Now, grab a common beer of your own and enjoy this week’s episode!
