Garrett Oliver, author, and Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster, to visit Buffalo

.
Garrett Oliver has been brewing professional for twenty years.  As head brewmaster at the Brooklyn Brewery, he is known not only for his flavorful beer creations, but also for his passionate and articulate writing on real beer, and his knack for pairing delicious food and beer together.

We're big fans of his book, The Brewmaster's Table, and were thrilled to hear that he will be in town, and appearing at several locations, on Monday, June 21st to promote craft beer.

Details are still sketchy, but confirmed events including
talks, question & answer, beer sampling, and drinking
are being planned at
Consumer's Beverages,  Cole's, and Shango.

As an author, and lecturer, Oliver is a well-spoken and entertaining bon vivant, and has quickly become the foremost authority in the United States on the subject of beer and food pairings.
After years of amateur home-brewing, inspired by beers he had encountered while living in England during the 80's, he began brewing professionally  in 1989.  He soon became widely known both here and abroad for his flavorful interpretations of traditional brewing styles and as an avid and entertaining lecturer and writer on the subject of fine beer. Oliver has hosted hundreds of beer tastings and dinners, writes regularly for beer and food-related periodicals, and is internationally recognized as an expert on traditional beer styles and correct pairing with food. He has made numerous radio and television appearances as a spokesman for craft brewing.
