Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! 

In spirit of Cinco de Mayo, Brian places a microphone in front of his good friend Matt, and challenges him to a blind taste test. Buzzed with Brian fans will recognize Matt from a previous blind taste test episode! He also is the famed editor and engineer of the pod. Not to mention a part of the killer band, North Breese, that provides all the transition music for the show. Tune in to today’s episode to see how Brian and Matt do, stacked up against three different Mexican Style Lagers! 

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

Brian delivers a new bite sized version of the show this week. Celebrating the people that give him beer is just as important as celebrating the beer itself!

If you want to learn more about the blonde style or need a refresher you should queue up Ep. 008. Sit back, relax, and raise a pint to Tyler for bringing this beer to the show!

Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! 

This week on the pod, the length of conversation is not just big, but GIANT.  Keeping it local, Brian was joined by Erika and Jessica Jones of Giant Jones Brewery in Madison, WI! Erika is the CEO, Jessica is the Brewer, and on this episode, both share their journey with beer, and how they ended up starting their own brewery. Brian knew this episode would turn into a marathon; however, every minute is loaded with valuable knowledge and discussion! Sit back, relax, and raise a pint (of Barleywine likely) to Erika and Jessica for coming onto the show!

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!
