Award-winning beer aficionado and brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery Garrett Oliver loves both wine and music, but he says that neither has as much versatility and potential as a well-crafted beer. Oliver explains that "real beer," can be anything from "light, bright and lemony" all the way to having "flavors of chocolate and coffee." Oliver stresses the fact that, when done properly, beers pair with different foods elegantly. He explains how to pair beer with dinner perfectly in The Brewmaster's Table and lets Boyd in on the secret of which is the perfect beer to bring to nearly any occasion from a summer barbecue to a Christmas party.
