Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! 

Brian enjoyed another successful year of Pour Another Round’s Outdoor Winter Beer Fest in Green Bay, WI. The festival was bustling with over 20 breweries this year, one of which was Ahnapee Brewing Company. Naturally, Brian brought the gear up with him again and was able to have Nick Calaway, Founder/Owner, of Ahnapee join him for a recording. Ahnapee started a decade ago out on the shores of Lake Michigan in Algoma, WI. Nick now boasts a second taproom just north of Green Bay. Nick tells the story of his craft and where the journey of creating/owning this business has taken him. Sit back, relax, and raise a beer to Nick for coming on the show!
