Get to Know 'Brews Brothers' Star Mike Castle with These 10 Fun Facts! (Exclusive)

Mike Castle is a name you’re going to want to know!

The actor and comedian is the star of the new Netflix show Brews Brothers, which is debuting today on the streaming service!

The show follows two estranged brothers, Wilhelm (Alan Aisenberg) and Adam Rodman (Castle), who find themselves running a brewery together. Each one is a beer genius…a braumeister, but they couldn’t be more different in their beer-making techniques and personalities. A lot of times in a show you see two people who complete each other. These two don’t even make a full person.
