The Podcast
Bud's Beer Blurb is all about bringing you the best information about individual beers, breweries, and beer-related topics.
We decided to expand our horizons and bring you a podcast that is unlike many other beer podcasts. Take a moment to listen to Episode 0 - The Introduction and you will understand what we want to accomplish here.

Episode List
Episode 0 was designed to give you a feel for what this podcast is all about. Take a listen and tell us what you think in the comments.
Episode 1 features Rob Zelonka, and Louis Westfall, the founders of Growler Power. They will tell us about this unique portable kegerator. My co-host, Nick Briggs, and I review Nightshift Brewing Company's "Strongest Female Lead." This beer has a great backstory. We also present to you the first edition of HOPS 101.
You can also listen on these platforms.
~ Coming Soon ~
My Co-host, Nick Briggs, and I had the pleasure of having Big Mike and Brando in our studio. They are known as Brewheads Entertainment, and we had a blast!
We had so much fun that we just kept talking and talking. So we had to split the interview in half.
So here is Part 1 of the Brewheads Entertainment interview.
Episode 3 - There was a lot of beer being tasted, reviewed, shared, and consumed. Things began to get even more fun as we continued our conversation. Check out how this interview progresses as we present to you part 2 of the Brewheads Entertainment interview.
Episode 4 brings us to Dudleytown Brewing Co. in Windsor, CT.
We sat down with two of the owners, Darly and John, and their Head Brewer, Rob.
Good times, amazing beer, and great company are what's in store for you when you visit this brewery and when you listen to the podcast. So grab a beer (if you are able), sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
Episode 5 - Somehow this episode got lost. I have no idea how that could have happened but we apologize for the mistake. No worries! Episode 6 is just below ready to be heard. Thank you.
Episode 6 is a little shorter than usual but we bring you Laurel by New Park Brewing. Nick and I reviewed this one and we were both pleased.
It was at this point, Wix decided that we are not allowed to post my podcast directly to the site, so I had to use YouTube to get the job done.
Episode 7 comes to us via our YouTube page. On this episode, we have Adam and Sean of Labyrinth Brewing Co. out of Manchester, CT.
We discuss the brewery and their plans for it in the future.
Episode 8 brings us to the New Cambridge Project in Bristol, CT.
I got to chat with Spencer Shankle, one of the owners, about how the old Firefly Hallow brewery became the New Cambridge Project.
On this episode, I get the opportunity to sit with Jess and Mekayla of the Connecticut chapter of Safe Bar.
Nick and I review Blue Dream IPA by BBCO
HOPS 101 takes a look at Blue Dream terpene, the flavor source for Blue Dream IPA
Nick and I sat down with Owner Ralph Fiegel and Sales Lead Jessica Houlker of Taylor Brooke Brewery in Woodstock, CT
We also have Jake Sweet and Maxx McNall of Dad’s Day Brewing. They are a couple of homebrewers that impressed the heck out of me at a brew fest.
On this episode, we are talking with Bryan Ayers of Elicit Brewing Co. in Manchester, CT about his journey to become the Head Brewer of Elicit.
We also have Adam Delaura and Sean Guerra of Labyrinth Brewing Co. telling their story of why their brewery had to close.
We also have another HOPS 101 featuring KRUSH hops and a humorous commercial for a new beer called Brewmaster's Delight. (Totally fake of course.)
On this episode, we sit down with Matt Clark and Josh Torres of B Sharp Brewing and they explain their new brewery and a little bit about where they are taking it.
Nick and I review Rare Fog by Abomination Brewing. This Triple IPA sparks the need for a new addition of HOPS 101.
Plus we have another commercial called, "Insta-Beer." All of that is right here on Bud's Beer Blurb the Podcast.
