Big thanks to broadcast legend Tom Leykis and producer Gary Zabranksy for having us on The Tasting Room with Tom Leykis, a terrestrial radio program and podcast (subscribe on iTunes) dedicated to the worlds of high-end wines, distilled spirits, craft beer, and the good life!

We discuss how beer was first created, the feast-or-famine state of beer diversity in the United States in the last 100 years, and speculate on the future of craft beer as the movement tangoes with the prospects of corporate buyouts and consolidation. As Mike puts it when it comes to the big brewers trying to co-opt the game, “Imitation is the highest form of flattery.”
