Buzzed with Brian

Brian Hanson

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!
