So a shameless plug for Michael Tonsmiere who just released a very good book exploring American Sour Beers. You can find the book [here on Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/American-Sour-Beer-Innovative-Fermentations-ebook/dp/B00LV8IRRI/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406668172&sr=8-1&keywords=sour+beers&ref=accidentalis.com). He also runs the brewing blog - [The Mad Fermentationist](http://www.themadfermentationist.com/?ref=accidentalis.com), which I have been following for a few years.

Michael was interviewed for a Beersmith podcast with Dr. Brad Smith of Beersmith fame and a good listen. Beersmith podcasts provide tons of great information and should be on your listening rotation! Not trying to hijack YouTube or Beersmith.com, but the interview is embedded below. - Not my content or interview - just passing along a really good podcast!

I have had the privilege to exchange a few emails with Michael, who while very busy, has been very gracious in offering advice and encouragement. If you care at all about the new trends in craft beer - and about how American Sour Beers fit into the world stage - Michael Tonsmiere is the man!

Cheers Michael - congratulations on a great book. Hopefully I can share a pint or three with you some day...
