Mike’s Yellow Truck
Mike is a true artist and a master of homebrewed beer. President of his local homebrewing association, he experiments with a new batch every other weekend. Next to inventing his own beers, he finds poetry in old farm pick-ups with rusted fenders and oversized steering wheels. Here is one of his more poetic recipes.
