About this listen

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. 151 - Industry Trends: Hop Extract & Boosted Brewing
    Apr 30 2026

    Welcome to Buzzed with Brian!

    On a recent trip out to the west coast, Brian encountered some new to him beer ingredients from Yakima Chief Hops! Have you ever heard of your beer being Dynaboosted or even HYPERboosted?? On this episode Tim, aka Professor Beer, and Brian talk about these hop extract products coming from Yakima Chief. These relatively new products boast great aromatics, improved efficiency, and higher yield on a commercial brewday. Lucky for them they have two distinct pints with a couple of these new products to showcase. Now, grab a beer and pour one of your own. Bonus point if it is boosted!

    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!
