About

Simone Lange

Is the sole owner of Buzzed Beetle Brewery. Before starting BBB, she owned and operated a photography business for over 25 years, taking photos for schools and local sports teams, including the old Anchorage Aces Hockey Team. ​

​

Her deep foray into home brewing, renewed her love of chemistry and experimentation. Simone’s creations was not only delicious, but without the artificial taste that many hard seltzers have.​

​

While on hikes Simone noticed a lot of Fireweed and Dandelions and her thoughts went to what can be produced from the abundance of natural resources.

Simone started with Fireweed wine, which was a big hit with family and friends and then tried Dandelion which was light and refreshing.

​

Buzzed Beetle is waiting for approval from the alcohol licensing board and has pivoted into the Mocktail market.

Simone's love of deconstructing a beverage has come in very handy during this period as she creates a beverage that has all of the taste of the alcoholic version without the ABV (alcohol by volume).​​​​​

​

Simone is TAPS certified (Training for Alcohol Professionals).

​

Simone placed 2nd in the 2024 Alaska State Fair, Wine Category with a sweet white wine and in the Mead Category with a plum melomel.

​

Simone placed 3rd in Humpy’s Big Fish Home Brew Competition 2023 with her New World Perry (a pear seltzer/cider).
