Welcome to Buzzed with Brian! I am your host, Brian...
We talk about beer, the history, and drink it!

Buzzed with Brian is a podcast for beer lovers, and beer novices alike! On each episode, a beer (or two or three...) will receive a review, and a rating. Brian discusses the beer style history, and the brewery where the beer was made. "Brewery Specials" and other special episodes involve guests from the craft beer industry. Guests enjoy a brew with Brian, and chat about their journey with beer and their current role in the industry!

Brian's mission is simple.
1) To educate the audience.
2) Support the local craft beer scene.
3) Open up and enhance the audience’s palate.
4) Excite listeners to get out there and try some new brews!

Thanks, and as always... Cheers beers!

  • Ep. 149.5 - The Peoples Pint: Sockeye Brewing
    Apr 2 2026

    Welcome to Buzzed with Brian!

    I know Brian said this would be an off week... but he could not help himself! The podcast continues to crawl toward 150 with another Peoples Pint preview. Aryn is back on the mic with him for a continuation of the last episode as she becomes even more Buzzed with Brian. Much like the last episode, this beer also had quite the journey to the Midwest, hailing from Boise, Idaho! A splendid beer as such is courtesy of friend-of-the-pod, Nick. A big thank you to Nick! Now, crack open a beer of your own and join Brian & Aryn as they dive into the latest pick: Midnight Cuvee from Sockeye Brewing.

    Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

  • Ep. 149 - The Peoples Pint: Cascade Brewing
    Mar 19 2026

    Welcome to Buzzed with Brian!

    The People’s Pint is back! This episode Brian is joined by his partner Aryn, to talk about a beer that traveled across the US. Remember, beer is better when we share it. The beer comes from (unfortunately) now closed Cascade Brewing Company out of Portland, Oregon. A pick as divine as such is courtesy of friend-of-the-pod, Nick, who was determined to get this beer in our hands! This may also be the oldest beer ever drunk on the pod, having been packaged in 2018! Now, crack open a beer of your own and join Brian & Aryn as they dive into the latest pick: Roadside Chai from Cascade Brewing.

    Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!

  • Ep. 148 Industry Trends - Cask Ales and Beer Engines
    Mar 5 2026

    Welcome to Buzzed with Brian!

    Brian was exploring out in real life this week with his microphone. He made a pit stop at the original Vintage Brewing Company on Madison's west side. There he was joined by "Professor Beer" aka Tim Virnig, BJCP Certified Beer Judge/Lead Beertender at Garth's Brew Bar. Fans of the pod know that Tim dropped yet another knowledge bomb for this episode. This time, Tim and Brian talk about all things British Cask Ale. From ingredients, to the history, and the super neat beer engines that pour these beers! Now, grab a beer or cask pour of your own!

    Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!
