MUNCHIES: The Podcast: Drinking in a Dive Bar with One of the World's Best Cult Brewers

On the latest MUNCHIES: The Podcast, we catch up with the man behind cult brewery, Mikkeller, over a few pints to learn about his love-hate relationship with beer nerds and the plans he's hatched to infiltrate North Korea.

Would you name your kid after your favorite beer? For a select few beer geeks, the answer is yes.

On the third installment from our Copenhagen series, we catch up with Mikkel Borg Bjergsø, the man behind cult brewery, Mikkeller, over a few pints to learn about how he got his start as a brewer, his love-hate relationship with beer nerds, and the plans he's hatched to infiltrate North Korea. We also figure out why in the hell people are willingly naming their spawn after a bottle of booze.
