Mika Laitinen lives, writes, and brews in Finland, just a stone's throw from the traditional sahti heartland, where traditional farmhouse ale culture still thrives. His articles on sahti have appeared in several beer magazines, including Brew Your Own and Zymurgy, and he writes about local Nordic beer culture on his website Brewing Nordic (www.brewingnordic.com). Randy Mosher is the author of Tasting Beer, Radical Brewing, Mastering Homebrew, A Beer for All Seasons, and The Brewer's Companion. He lives in Chicago, Illinois.
"An invaluable resource. . . . Mika Laitinen's exhaustive research
and experimentation has resulted in a fascinating, highly readable,
and eminently accessible guidebook for brewing like a Viking."
Jereme Zimmerman, author of Make Mead Like a Viking and Brew Beer
Like a Yeti
"Just when you think the canon of beer literature cannot grow any
richer, a book like Mika Laitinen's comes along. This is a
fascinating and substantive account of a typically overlooked
corner of the brewing universe, and is sure to stand as the
definitive word on traditional farmhouse ales for quite some time."
Tom Acitelli, author of The Audacity of Hops
