Arts
**Drunk With Buds**

A show about trying new beers with some friends and having discussions you would normally have at a bar. We rate beers, alcohol, or wine with a guest while discussing a wide array of topics. We talk about whatever our guests are passionate about. Sometimes we venture to breweries and hear stories from the brewers themselves about their brews. It’s not all about the beer, plenty of stuff for everyone. Join us for stories, laughs, and a damn good buzz.
