In our 85th podcast, we talk to friend of the show Mike Sands, the owner, pizza genius, and karaoke extraordinaire of Slice Culture. Slice Culture is a pop-up pizza stall from Stoke that you have probably seen at taprooms and pubs around the country. Mike has put his passion and dedication for pizza into making Slice Culture one of the top taproom food stalls around. Bringing his own brand of 'taproom pizza' to beer nerds wherever he can. Mike tells us about how he got into making pizza, the resources he has used and uses to learn and perfect the art of dough, talks ingredients, and gives us a look at what it takes to run these pop-up food stalls. He also talks to us about how he first approached taprooms, how all that works, and the prep it takes to make a successful few days of serving pizza. (It's really fucking good pizza btw, take our word for it.) www.sliceculture.co.uk ----------- www.beernomicon.com All our podcasts are now on Spotify. Available for free download on Soundcloud.
