This is our MTF Live interview with Mike Matucheski. Milk The Funk tracked down Mike after wiki editor Dan Pixley posted about Charlie Papazian speaking about Mike and other pioneers in American homebrewing. Mike was one of the first Americans making mixed fermentation sour beer in barrels at his home in the early 80's, as well as malting his own homegrown grain and using homegrown hops. Join us to hear Mike's story on how he pioneered brewing American sour beers in the early 1980's.
