Mike Husaker drove thousands and thousands of miles to become a gold medalist brewer. He took all the crap jobs and low paying gigs to take his chemical engineering degree and 10 years of homebrewing to the next level, learning from the worst and best across the Midwest, before landing a brewhouse position with Fat Head’s Brewing in Cleveland. It paid off when he landed a head brewer position at Fat Head’s in Portland’s Pearl District, and ultimately when he opened his own brewery, Grains of Wrath, in Camas, Washington. Tune-in to Grit & Grain Episode 43 to hear Hunsaker discuss his days in Virginia Beach and Cleveland, his love for the Portland brewing community who helped navigate Beervana, and his thoughts on brewing award-winning beers.
