Traditional Beer Brewing

Traditional Beer Brewing

After years of amateur brewing inspired by beers he had encountered during a year in England, Garrett Oliver began brewing professionally at Manhattan Brewing Company in 1989. He was appointed head brewer there in 1993. 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. Garrett has hosted dozens of beer tastings and dinners, writes regularly for beer and food-related periodicals, and is internationally recognized as an expert on traditional beer styles.
In 1994, Oliver joined The Brooklyn Brewery as Brewmaster and partner. Over the past four years, he has commissioned a new brewhouse and expanded Brooklyn Brewery's portfolio from two beers to a dozen. Many of his beers have won national awards. He has served as a judge for the Professional Panel Blind Tasting of the Great American Beer Festival for nine years, and has judged the prestigious Great British Beer Festival competition five times. In 1995 he hosted a tasting of British Beers for 400 people at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. In the United States, Oliver has made numerous radio and television appearances as a spokesman for craft brewing, including segments on NPR, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, The History Channel and Television Food Network's "Emeril Live". He is an official spokesman for the American Dairy Association, matching craft-brewed beer with American cheeses.
