Frequently Asked Questions
What was the inspiration for this website?
I would get lost in the overnight towns all the time. I started printing out the maps but they would get lost or wet. I thought the best way was to have the info on your phone but on a website so anyone can access it.
Why do you make this site?
I've been in the biking community for a long time and this is a way for me to give back to that community.
How did you get your name?
At one point there were two Brians on my team and I overheard someone refer to me as the "Drunk Brian". I instantly loved it and decided to run with it.
Is that story true that you did _____?
Probably. I should try to keep track of the crazy stories and put together a book and retire.
Where can I get a Drunk Brian sticker?
Find me on a ride! I try to always have stickers on me to give out to riders. They are free, not for sale.
I love your site and want to get you a beer on RAGBRAI, how do I do that?
I ride with Team Wrong, look for our jerseys and ask other teammates where I am. I wear Team Wrong jerseys all week on RAGBRAI.
Do you drink only beer? What about hard alcohol?
On rides I mostly drink beer but love to drink hard alcohol from time to time (except whiskey). I prefer vodka and rum.
What are your favorite craft beers?
IPA's are my preferred type. Some of my favorite craft breweries are Confluence and Toppling Goliath.
What are your favorite cheap beers?
Cheap beers are great when drinking off your bike. Some of my favorite cheap beers are Busch Light, PBR and Grain Belt.
I found you on Facebook and you haven't approved my friend request yet, what gives?
Long story short, I'm locked out of that Facebook profile. Follow the new Drunk Brian 2.0 page on Facebook. Drunk Brian App 2.0 on Facebook
