Garrett Oliver didn’t grow up aiming to become one of the country’s premier brewmasters, but his palate and appreciation for beer naturally guided him towards his current career. So, what exactly is a brewmaster? Well, he is the master of the brew -the one who oversees production, ensures quality of the beer, and concocts new recipes.  Oliver has leveraged his years of experience and also published the book The Brewmaster’s Table: Discovering the Pleasures of Real Beer with Real Food. TAP talked to Oliver about his career and being one of the few African-American brewmasters in the country.
