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!

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!
