Guide Note

The Drew Carey Show was a sitcom that ran on ABC from 1995-2004 about a group of friends (played by Christa Miller, Ryan Stiles, and Diedrich Bader) in Cleveland, Ohio. They were led by Drew Carey (based loosely on himself) who worked in an office at the town department store. His rivals at the office were his boss played by now talk show host Craig Ferguson and his assistant played by Kathy Kinney.

At home Drew and his friends tried to launch their own homemade beer line Buzz Beer. It contained caffeine and beer. The venture was never as successful as the group hoped for, but ultimately they did get their local bar to carry it.
