good day to be a nerd.

That guy above. That's Garrett Oliver. Who's Garrett Oliver?

Garrett Oliver is the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewing. He's written a couple of books and accomplished a slew of beer related accomplishments, etc. Check out this bio.

So anyhow, after hosting a dinner earlier in the evening, Mr. Oliver made his way to the bar. Not only is he a beer nerd celebrity. He apparently also used to put on shows in the city, including one that found him bowling with the Ramones (seriously), and he also used to make his on scifi zine in college.

I found this out when I asked him to sign my copy of Dune.



Badass.
