Rest In Peace, Tasty.
RIP Mike (Tasty). I'll be thinking of him next time I brew Janet's Brown.
Kal
Yes it was.I think it was cancer, but I'm not sure.
I only met him once; had a short encounter during Homebrewcon 2018 in Portland. His enthusiasm for home brewing was contagious.I really liked Tasty. He was so genial and warm. He will be missed terribly.
I remember him being the unflappable part of the Jamil show. He NEVER took the bait, always stayed on topic, was never irreverent. It seemed to me that Jamil would defer to Tasty on serious subjects.
How did he die? Was he old? Anyone look into this?
What was the name of his unconventional lager? May have to try his method for it if I can find It, in his memory.
Oh, 2020 clearly is not done f@cking around with humanity quite yet
I listened to almost all of the old CYBI episodes and other shows featuring Tasty on the Brewing Network, and always admired him..
He put up with all the frat boy, locker room type prattle from the younger guys and never sank to their level. Supposedly, Tasty always showed up to events with an entourage of good looking women. I believe he was a veteran of the US NAVY?
Janet's Brown Ale was one of his famous recipes, anyone else know if any others?
I was wearing my "When I grow up I want to be like Denny Conn" t-shirt. He got a kick out of that and took a picture. Unfortunately my cheap a$$ phone had no camera.I only met him once; had a short encounter during Homebrewcon 2018 in Portland. His enthusiasm for home brewing was contagious.
