In today’s spoiler-free mini-episode, I (Kaytee) am chatting with J. Ryan Stradal, author of The Lager Queen of Minnesota (his new release) and Kitchens of the Great Midwest (his previous release that I loved!). This minisode is full of midwest charm and belly laughs. I hope you love it.
In this “minisode”, Kaytee and J. Ryan are talking about beer, and family, and Minnesota, and middle-class America. We talk about mentors and the writing life, and which pies are our favorites. We’re also getting a little bit silly regarding the “research” required to write a really good book about beer.
And, as always, we’ll end with a book he wants to press into your hands, readers!
