Now onto today’s show… Brian was finding inspiration by perusing his beer fridge (as he typically does). He stumbled upon an unmarked bottle of homebrew that for the life of him he could not recall what it was. Naturally, he opened it and decided to record a podcast about it. Then he released he had a fairly comparable commercial brew, and two beers is always better than one! So pour yourself something, or a couple somethings, sit back, relax, and enjoy the tales of the Session IPA!

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

Brian is back to deliver the goods on one of beer’s boldest and most storied lager styles. Born in German monasteries as “liquid bread,” doppelbock was brewed to sustain monks through long periods of fasting and cold winters. Rich, malty, and deceptively strong, this historic style has stood the test of time and continues to inspire brewers around the world. So pour yourself something dark and delicious, settle in, and enjoy the show.

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

Brian is back to deliver the goods on one of beer’s boldest and most storied lager styles. Born in German monasteries as “liquid bread,” doppelbock was brewed to sustain monks through long periods of fasting and cold winters. Rich, malty, and deceptively strong, this historic style has stood the test of time and continues to inspire brewers around the world. So pour yourself something dark and delicious, settle in, and enjoy the show.

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

Are you asking yourself, “What exactly is a gruit?” Well, Brian is here, as always, to deliver the goods on beer history. This ancient style predates hops and once dominated brewing across medieval Europe. While Gruit nearly disappeared over time, it has recently seen a small resurgence within the modern craft beer movement. To highlight the style, Brian features an excellent modern example from Kansas City, Missouri. So get ready to travel way back in time, grab a beer of your own, and enjoy the show!

Brian is back and ready to hit your palate with some serious beer knowledge! Joining him on the mic is returning all-star guest Tim Virnig — a BJCP Certified Beer Judge, Lead Beertender at Garth's Brew Bar in Madison, and an all-around great guy. In this episode, Brian and Tim dive into the world of common off-flavors in beer: what they are, how they happen, and how to avoid them — so you can steer clear of bad brews. Yes, they (unfortunately) sample a few off-flavored beers, but don’t worry, Tim redeems the tasting session with a delicious one from Starkweather Brewing Company. Listen in, grab a beer of your own, and be prepared to level up your beer knowledge!

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! 

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

Listen to this episode to learn more about a style a falling giant in the beer industry anchored their portfolio with (pun intended).

]]> 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!

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

Brian delivers the second round of this bite sized series. Celebrating the people that give him beer is just as important as celebrating the beer itself!

Stay tuned for an upcoming hazy style history episode!. Sit back, relax, and raise a pint to Tim for bringing this beer to the show!

]]> Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! 

This week the podcast took yet another pitstop at Garth’s Brew Bar in Madison, WI. 1840 Brewing Company out of Milwaukee, WI was putting on a tap takeover for the day. Thank you to 1840’s Director of Operations, Marty LeMense, for hoping on the mic! The episode features the story behind 1840, Marty’s role in the brewery, and a few very choice libations they had at Garth’s. Sit back, relax, and raise a pint to Marty for coming onto the show!

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

The days are getting shorter and colder. Time to settle down with some malty dark beers. This week Brian brings you the Scotch Ale, also known as a Wee Heavy! A big thank you to a Buzzed with Brian fan for donating the beer for this weeks episode. The beer traveled all the way back to the Midwest from Massachusetts' own, Tree House Brewery. Take a break from raking those fall leaves, grab a Wee Heavy of your own, and check out this week’s episode! 

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

Summer Vice by Raised Grain Brewing (Waukesha, WI)

]]> Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! 

After an excellent Brewery Special last week, Brian takes a deep dive into some beer style history. The German Hefeweizen style has so much to offer as the history is seeping out of this episode. Brian also drinks down a yeast forward beer from Raised Grain Brewery in Waukesha, WI. Listen up, crack a beer, and don’t blink… otherwise you may miss a surprise!

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

It is the pod's third Brewery Special! Brian is very excited to bring to you the material from a wonderful Sunday afternoon sitting down in Milwaukee’s Dead Bird Brewing. A big thank you to Owner/Brewmaster Nick Kocis for making the recording day a blast! As they sat in the taproom, Nick told the tales of his journey with beer, the creation of his brewery, and of course enjoyed a couple of their beers. You may also remember their Gotdambier from Ep. 017. Sit back, relax, and raise a pint to Nick for coming onto the show!

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!
