Episode 323 - Michael Tonsmiere, Sapwood Cellars

Happy Monday, Thieves! We're talking about clean beer and wild beer with the man who wrote the book on American sours. Michael Tonsmiere took some time away from the brewhouse and his writing desk to talk with us about what is inspiring his brewing and what has changed since he released "American Sour Beers: Innovative Techniques for Mixed Fermentation."

Tonsmiere shares what it is like working at Sapwood Cellars, the brewery he co-founded in Columbia, Maryland and where he looks for creativity and tries to educate drinkers on flavors and terminology. As they are fond of saying at the brewery: "Beer should be a pleasure to savor, not a challenge to conquer!" Tune in and let us know what you think!
