The story behind the blurb

Welcome to Bud’s Beer Blurb.

Hey, I’m Bud.

I review beer, talk with brewers, visit breweries, cover events, host a podcast—and somehow turned all of that into Bud’s Beer Blurb.

But this has never been only about the beer.

Don’t get me wrong—I love a good beer. But what really keeps me interested are the people behind it. The brewers who took a chance on an idea. The brewery owners who built something from the ground up. The musicians, creators, and characters you meet along the way.

Everybody has a story. I want to hear it—and then help them share it.

No Beer Snobbery Required

Craft beer can get a little too serious sometimes.

I’m not here to tell you that you need a trained palate, a fancy vocabulary, or a beard long enough to qualify as brewery equipment. If you like a beer, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t.

My reviews are honest, but they’re never about tearing people down. I want to help you find something worth trying while giving credit to the people who put in the work to make it.

Sometimes I’ll teach you something. Sometimes I’ll make you laugh. And every once in a while, I might even know what I’m talking about.

Brews, News, & Reviews

Around here, you’ll find beer reviews, brewery stories, podcast conversations, food and beer pairings, event coverage, and a little approachable beer knowledge mixed in.

On the podcast, I sit down with brewers, brewery owners, musicians, creators, and other interesting people I meet along the way. There are no “gotcha” questions and no stiff interviews. We sit down, get comfortable, and have a real conversation.

You’ll also find me out at breweries and events across Connecticut, talking with the people who make this community what it is.

Good Beer. Good People. A Damn Good Time.

That’s Bud’s Beer Blurb.

It’s about supporting local, staying curious, and reminding people that there’s usually a pretty great story waiting behind every pour.

So look around. Watch a review. Meet some good people. Hear a few stories. And maybe find your next favorite beer while you’re here.

I’m Bud from Bud’s Beer Blurb—and I’ll be tippin’ one back for ya!
