I think part of that comes from knowing that different beers are for different occasions and different budgets, without the fear to also voice that some beers are not pleasant and just aren't worth the purchase.
@@__danield7466 A good example is in Norway, the cheapest store beer we have is something called "Bare Øl", which literally translates to "Just Beer" and made as cheap, but true to beer, as possible. It scores insanely high among almost all experts in both blind and non-blind tests here.

They have their own naming conventions. There is "enkel", which is a light blonde ale, "dubbel", which is a stronger brown ale, "trippel", which is a strong pale ale, and "quadrupel", which is a very strong dark ale.

While German breweries are wonderful and of course the inspiration for so many other beers around the world, they are notoriously stubborn and can be known for rejecting contemporary ideas when it comes to modernizing their beers.

That makes a good case for American beer I'd say, but if want more proof... American breweries have actually begun placing high in German beer contests. For instance a couple years ago, pFriem Brewery in Oregon sent a German Pilsner to a Pilsner competition in Germany and won. Beat out over 100 German breweries.

@@akshay_9146 Here you go. It's not a Ted Talk, but it's close. This is a video of his talk at Google in 2016: ruclips.net/video/aQsEXadDqcw/видео.html
I love it when the expert praises cheap products for how far they get with an affordable price tag and even suggest ways to use them, a cheap beer and a burger is not a fancy dinner but well within the scope of any gathering with family or friends and you can tell this guy is a real expert because he knows not only what to do and what goes into the expensive stuff but also knows how to enjoy the cheap products too.
Like Grumpy Monk says, he's the brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery and has been for 25 years. Plus a James Beard award winner, author, and editor of the Oxford Companion of Beer. Yeah, the guy knows what the heck he's talking about.
I have ADHD and it's often very difficult for me to listen to people talk for extended periods and pay attention but this dude just has that kind of calm charisma that kept me tuned in for the entire video. Get this guy his own channel :D
differences between products the have to compare are usually staggering, amateur beer enthusiast would get through that and they are taking in actual experts. Most of those could be judged by the head or even bottle. Some bottles were typical for beer style and they ended up being more expensive one and better. Sour beer, belgian white, and barel aged was like that.
Removing the labels, not judging the bottle, holding the opinions to the end, very sophisticated and well spoken and much more, great presentation, I watched the entire vid.
This guy knows how to describe scents without sounding pretentious. Almost like how a novelist describes a setting. I’ve noticed that gourmets tend to describe food and drink with terms that only really those amongst them would know. It makes the video so much more interesting when you have someone who is definitely in the know, but can explain things in laymen’s terms, and with enthusiasm at that.
Now if guitarists could just learn to describe sound the way he describes taste. They're all pretentious, etc... And I get physically ill every time I have to read it.
@@williambrown2722 I choose to believe there is something to it other than that, I feel like his personality has gotta be more than just his sexuality.
@@GlowstoneWolf So many! Fresh hopped, Mazen, pumpkin beers, Winter Warmers, Baltic Porter, barleywines, summer ales, so many more! Get out there and explore the season's bounty.
The number of beer styles is absolutely mind-boggling. Beer Advocate has 111 different styles for their reviews to fall into. A lot of people think of beer as American adjunct lagers like Budweiser or Coors (where they pad out the barley with cheaper corn and rice and try to eliminate as much flavor as possible to make it easy to drink), but there's also porters (dark, bitter, roasted coffee and chocolate flavors), Vienna lager (amber colored with a malty and slightly bitter taste), Scotch ales that taste like dough, brown ales with a very mild and malty flavor, etc. And then there's the weird stuff, like the sour fruit beers he tried. There's beers fermented with wild yeasts to give them sour or "barnyard" scents and flavors, gruit beers that use a mixture of botanicals instead of hops like medieval ale, smoked beers, rye beers, beers made mostly from rice in Japan, and oatmeal stout. A local microbrewery in Sanford, FL makes a white chocolate amaretto beer that tastes exactly like that, to the point where you wouldn't know it was beer if you weren't told. There's very likely more variation in beer than any other beverage on the planet. The flavors encompass sweet, bitter, sour, bready, smoky, savory, and everything else on the planet. Someone who says "I don't like beer" is saying something similar to "I don't like sauce."
As a craft beer lover, I love this guy! Definitely speaks to all craft beer enthusiasts! I see a comment from two years ago saying this guy needs a Netflix series on him going to breweries, and I agree!
This guy held my attention for the entire video. That’s hard to do with on the internet nowadays. The cuts and the editing was done well too. Enjoyed it. Now I have to go get some beer....
This guy would be the best neighbor ever. I can just imagine if. "Howdy neighbor. Beautiful weather we're having." Then when you have a beer with him he tells you its history and describes what it is your tasting. Lol
@@blognewb You wouldn't want a neighbor who would give you samples of their latest creations? Definitely not too far. My buddy used me as a ginny pig for all of his latest dishes, I gained 30 lbs, but awesome none the less.
Honestly, I had a pretty similar experience. The video was definitely captivating, daresay interesting, and a fun watch. But the brand names being added would have been nice for sure.
he roasted the first one pretty dang harshly. "i can tell you that much, that came from a place with a laboratory. They worked pretty hard to remove all taste from it" and "would you really pay 60 cents less for something that is absolutely empty?" so he didn´t pull his punches on the first one. so either he got a reminder between shots or the others were much better.
@@Metalhammer1993 Yea because it's the only one that tried to really shy away from flavour. The rest at least made an effort to replicate good flavours, not remove them.
Fun Fact: Garrett Oliver is an American brewer and beer author from New York City. Since 1994, he has worked as the brewmaster at the Brooklyn Brewery.
Not the owner the head brewer. He's also the author of The Oxford Companion to Beer (www.amazon.com/dp/B005MLIQCQ/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1).
If I lived in the distribution range of most of the Epicurious' featured expert's organizations, I'd buy from them. In fact, I have bought from two of them. Jeni's icecream is genuinely awesome. Brooklyn Brewery is great, but they don't ship their good stuff farther east than Ohio.
There should be a whole 10 minute video just hammering that point home about the Pilsner. There are so many american brewers that think it needs to be smooth and malty. And it's true that some german pilsners lean towards the malty side, but they at least clean up at the end and have a clean finish. But nobody in my neck of the woods is even bothering to make a good, crisp, czech style pils with that minerally bite to it. Which is a damn shame, because it's one of my favorite styles to drink when it's fresh and local.
Ikr Males: whatchu mean you don't like head ...( bubbles 😇🤗)? Me ♀️: _casually drinking beer_ . 😤 Ugh, why do you gotta turn everything dirty for 😒? _throws beer_ Dude: 😔🤔😶🤷🏻♂️
I'm gonna guess Pilsner - unsure (could be a lot of things) vs Miller (with its pilsner taste /s) Belgian white - blue moon vs allagash white Ipa - m43 vs lagunitas ipa Munich - ayinger vs Negra modelo Barrel aged - goose Island bcbs vs... Maybe a dogfish head oak aged thingy? Fruit sour - some regional sour like the destihl Flanders red vs maybe duchess du Bourgogne? Doesn't look like the right bottle. I'm not much of a sour expert
The words he used to describe the beer's aroma, taste and character makes you feel that you understand what's going on. Nothing sounds smug or pretentious. I'm glad I watched this. Truly an expert!
I appreciate the fact that even when he didn’t like a beer, he was very complimentary and found a way to give the beer a use case. This video has really educated me on different beers and their uses. Is there a list of the beers used in this video?
Dude, if you wanted, you could have a great channel of your own. You have the character for it. Just talk generally about beers, review a couple of different products every now and then, and ZAP, it'd be an instant hit with millions of views.
You can see his passion and knowledge for beer threw out the entire video. A man who shows where dedication can lead you to in your craft. Thanks for teaching me a thing or two!
"Garrett Oliver, Brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery", to those who are wondering why he knows beer so well. Great job Mr. Oliver - loved your presentation and quick rundown of the different styles of beer.
@@Jonked2 I don't think I've ever seen Brooklyn beers here in California, and I'm right in the middle of microbrewery central in SF Bay Area. We have some great microbreweries like Fieldwork, New Glory, Revision, Faction, Blue Oak, etc. Would love to try one of Garrett Oliver's brews.
I like how he even managed to compliment the less expensive beers; very similar to the way me and other home brewers are with the "drink what you like" mentality.
i think he only really trashed one of them i think^^ (so i assume that one really wasn´t good) but yeah i too like how appreciative he was of almost all of them. There´s a beer for every occasion. surely the bottles in front of my bed, that my neighbor gave me from time to time, are perfectly fine if you´re getting hammered with your permanently unemployed neighbor, but i´d give none of them to my friends. For my frieds i´d buy a different beer (okay also because i know the beer they love. I don´t like it but if 5/6 drink it, you get it, even if you don´t like it yourself). But something like the vbeers in the video i´d probably only order when on a dinner with my gf´s parents or something like that. (yes they are somewhat high struck sometimes. So you need to adjust and if you drink beer, at least drink something more "civilised" than a pilsener)
I've been pretty impressed with everyone I've seen do these (I remember the chocolate, meat and cheese ones especially at least). You can just tell that they're all really passionate about what they do, helps the viewing so much!
Ikr. No way this comrade looking dude doesn't have a funky family in which all members give that fruity and funny sensation. You can see that he was well aged inside a barrel because there is more depth to him.
I've literally watched this video three times now. Excellent video, the speaker is top-notch. What I enjoy most is how well the speaker conveys the smells/flavors. He is very charismatic; the occasional "wow," "boom," and "zzing" are immersive and give us a real sense for his observations. Please invite him back for more videos!
not even a beer guy, but watching people talk about things that they truly and thouroughly enjoy, whether its beer, ice cream, or lunch meat, makes me feel happy
Same. You should check out the Pumpktoberfest series on Maven Of The Eventide's channel. It's a whole series of her and various friends trying pumpkin flavored beers. much better than I've made it sound.
The shade he threw at champagne makers had me dying. But seriously, I'm going to be looking at beer bubbles like a weirdo for rest of my life. Great presenter.
As a certified beer judge, I'm going to have to watch everything Garrett has done before I judge my next competition. Yes, when I fill out judging forms I have to give way more detail than he can in a 25-minute video, but his ability to simplify the descriptions without losing the nuance of a style is *fantastic*
As a certified Cicerone, he wrote a lot of the course materials we studied. He's one of the most knowledgeable beer people alive. Plus, being the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery for a quarter century is a pretty big deal too.
@@noahdetiveaux9722 Working in the alcohol industry helped connect with a group studying for it. You need to take Certified Beer Server first, which you can do online. Then check beer focused liquor stores and ask if there's a Cicerone group starting. You can also get info from their website. There's a syllabus you study, and exams are carried out in many major cities. Joining a group helps a lot, but it can totally be done solo. It's just way cheaper to do style tasting in groups, and you'll usually gain insight from the group.
it would be like ibruprofen in USA wallmarkt: 100ct per pill ibruprofen in USA hospital 5000ct per pill ibruprofen in the EU 10ct per pill and yes this is not a joke
I don't tthink he have the time. He is the head brewer at Brooklin brewery, he wrote a few books and give conferences and so on. he probably has done this just for fun or to the education of people who don't know beers but don't have time to do it on a regular basis.
@@sylvaindupuis5595 kind of crazy how this channel manage to gets these kinds of big heads of their industry, especially this one and the chocolate expert one. Also hi fellow quebecois
@@andrester88 The good news for Garrett is, they tend to to invite hacks to contribute. Obviously, people usually write in an area of expertise. But you are correct, it's his name on the front cover, it all comes down to him. If you haven't read it, it's fascinating, a choose your own adventure.
"Zap" and 13 other phrases I want to be inspired to blurt out when drinking. Garrett has to be one of the least pretentious experts I've heard talk about beer - exactly the kinda guy you'd want to share a pint with!
I dont drink much beer and dont rly care about it. i just wanted to see an „expert“ fail at the price. Boy was I wrong. This guy is amazing. He knows his craft and his friendly and calming voice wants me listen to him for hours
I think this is the reason I don't like Belgian beers. I had one one time that just tasted like a straight up sausage and kind of ruined the style for me. Now I know why!
I love how impressed he is with barrel-aged beer A at 18:25. Also funny how they cut away just before he takes his third sip. Like "hey buddy, easy on the drinking there, we don't want to encourage the audience to actually finish their beer".
Holy cow...this guy needs his own show. I couldn't stop watching, he's so pleasant. I love critics that aren't snobby.

I have ADHD and it's often very difficult for me to listen to people talk for extended periods and pay attention but this dude just has that kind of calm charisma that kept me tuned in for the entire video. Get this guy his own channel :D
I would watch an entire series of this gentleman reviewing beers. Fascinating; great descriptive words.
This guy needs a show right now!! Not only his knowledge of beers but damn well entertaining gentleman!
Could see him going around the world to various breweries to do a show on each one. I'd subscribe to that.
He literally edited the Oxford Companion to Beer. Dude is a living legend!
Jules & Slavik Soltys you should drink his beers, they’re fantastic. Brooklyn brewing company
Literally was thinking the same thing, glad another 507 people agree as well
wow an "expert" who actually seems knowledgable and was humble yet correct every time
differences between products the have to compare are usually staggering, amateur beer enthusiast would get through that and they are taking in actual experts. Most of those could be judged by the head or even bottle.
Some bottles were typical for beer style and they ended up being more expensive one and better. Sour beer, belgian white, and barel aged was like that.
It's boring when they're correct every time. Makes it seem like they're staged; which they most certainly are.
Watch the meat and bacon one
maxpowr90 but they aren’t always correct? Maybe they just I don’t know....know a lot about their topic
@@maxpowr90 Thats why he's an EXPERT.
Removing the labels, not judging the bottle, holding the opinions to the end, very sophisticated and well spoken and much more, great presentation, I watched the entire vid.

This comment was all those same things in the comment
This guy knows how to describe scents without sounding pretentious. Almost like how a novelist describes a setting. I’ve noticed that gourmets tend to describe food and drink with terms that only really those amongst them would know. It makes the video so much more interesting when you have someone who is definitely in the know, but can explain things in laymen’s terms, and with enthusiasm at that.
Now if guitarists could just learn to describe sound the way he describes taste. They're all pretentious, etc... And I get physically ill every time I have to read it.

Yes, he was one of the most exciting fun and energetic experts they've had.
Theres seasonal beers?
@@GlowstoneWolf So many! Fresh hopped, Mazen, pumpkin beers, Winter Warmers, Baltic Porter, barleywines, summer ales, so many more! Get out there and explore the season's bounty.
The number of beer styles is absolutely mind-boggling. Beer Advocate has 111 different styles for their reviews to fall into. A lot of people think of beer as American adjunct lagers like Budweiser or Coors (where they pad out the barley with cheaper corn and rice and try to eliminate as much flavor as possible to make it easy to drink), but there's also porters (dark, bitter, roasted coffee and chocolate flavors), Vienna lager (amber colored with a malty and slightly bitter taste), Scotch ales that taste like dough, brown ales with a very mild and malty flavor, etc.
And then there's the weird stuff, like the sour fruit beers he tried. There's beers fermented with wild yeasts to give them sour or "barnyard" scents and flavors, gruit beers that use a mixture of botanicals instead of hops like medieval ale, smoked beers, rye beers, beers made mostly from rice in Japan, and oatmeal stout. A local microbrewery in Sanford, FL makes a white chocolate amaretto beer that tastes exactly like that, to the point where you wouldn't know it was beer if you weren't told.
There's very likely more variation in beer than any other beverage on the planet. The flavors encompass sweet, bitter, sour, bready, smoky, savory, and everything else on the planet. Someone who says "I don't like beer" is saying something similar to "I don't like sauce."
There is everything in beer once you start to explore - so many amazing tastes

I like how he doesn't conflate cost with quality. He points out the positives in both and the cheaper beer is not always a bad beer to drink.
I agree, but to be fair, most of the cheaper beers weren’t that cheap. At $2 per beer, that’s $12/6 pack which is not Budweiser.

This was fun and interesting. I'm only bummed that we didn't get to find out the specific names of the beers.
Also found it fun and interesting and definitely also pretty bummed out we don't get to learn the brand/name of the beers.
I was bummed to not find out the brands, but I found it interesting and fun
Outside of not finding out the brand specific names and beer it was fun and interesting
For me, it was mostly fun and interesting. The only slightly bumming out aspect was that we didn't get to find out the specific names of the beers.
Honestly, I had a pretty similar experience. The video was definitely captivating, daresay interesting, and a fun watch. But the brand names being added would have been nice for sure.
Bring this guy back , I couldn’t watch a full video with the other people but not with this dude . he was phenomenal
I'd listen to this guy lecture on medieval economics for hours. The fact that he's talking about beer is just a bonus.
I normally only watch a few guesses on these. But i watched it all with this guy. Really enjoyed him.
You are so right! With the others after two I was out. More beer please ?!?!

Oh mine too! 9 O'clock?
My dad was so excited to get to the lab every day he would hit 3rd gear before the end of the driveway.
It’s science
I like how he gently criticized the cheap beer.
Guess what their legal department is telling them in advance ... ;o)
he roasted the first one pretty dang harshly. "i can tell you that much, that came from a place with a laboratory. They worked pretty hard to remove all taste from it" and "would you really pay 60 cents less for something that is absolutely empty?" so he didn´t pull his punches on the first one. so either he got a reminder between shots or the others were much better.
@@Metalhammer1993 Yea because it's the only one that tried to really shy away from flavour. The rest at least made an effort to replicate good flavours, not remove them.
@@Metalhammer1993 None of the brands are mentioned. There's no reason why they couldn't criticize them.

This was so entertaining, especially for a beer lover. This guy definitely has the experience, expertise, and knows what he’s talking about.

Not the owner the head brewer. He's also the author of The Oxford Companion to Beer (www.amazon.com/dp/B005MLIQCQ/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1).
He's the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery
his book "the brewmaster's table" is incredible!
He created a beer class, though I think he is probably too busy to regularly lecture. That’s probably a “yes” on being a teacher though.

What each beer needs:
Pilsner: Zap
Belgian White: Boom and Pop

Munich Dark Lager: Boom (Malt)
Barrel-Aged Beer: Depth
Fruit Sour: Fun
Wachong Vang IPAs are the fun beer
@@thechosen18ify He's referencing the things he would say when drinking the beers
all beers need balance
There should be a whole 10 minute video just hammering that point home about the Pilsner. There are so many american brewers that think it needs to be smooth and malty. And it's true that some german pilsners lean towards the malty side, but they at least clean up at the end and have a clean finish. But nobody in my neck of the woods is even bothering to make a good, crisp, czech style pils with that minerally bite to it. Which is a damn shame, because it's one of my favorite styles to drink when it's fresh and local.
@@pirojfmifhghek566 Pilsner is a Czech beer, don't know why are other countries trying to remake it when they won't make it as good.

I wish they'd show the brands.
I can tell you I’m 90% sure Belgian White A was Blue Moon. Not bad, but not exactly good compared to others in the same class.
I’m almost positive the more expensive fruit sour is Anchorage Scream.
I'm gonna guess
Pilsner - unsure (could be a lot of things) vs Miller (with its pilsner taste /s)
Belgian white - blue moon vs allagash white
Ipa - m43 vs lagunitas ipa
Munich - ayinger vs Negra modelo
Barrel aged - goose Island bcbs vs... Maybe a dogfish head oak aged thingy?
Fruit sour - some regional sour like the destihl Flanders red vs maybe duchess du Bourgogne? Doesn't look like the right bottle. I'm not much of a sour expert
100% sure Pilsner A was Carlsberg
@@mwamburi I've never seen Carlsberg in a can
The words he used to describe the beer's aroma, taste and character makes you feel that you understand what's going on. Nothing sounds smug or pretentious. I'm glad I watched this. Truly an expert!

The board is the best
Wait...what the hell are you talking about? I am saying his voice and everything about him is epic.
I like how he even managed to compliment the less expensive beers; very similar to the way me and other home brewers are with the "drink what you like" mentality.
This guy did an amazing job, seems like a great dude.
i think he only really trashed one of them i think^^ (so i assume that one really wasn´t good) but yeah i too like how appreciative he was of almost all of them. There´s a beer for every occasion. surely the bottles in front of my bed, that my neighbor gave me from time to time, are perfectly fine if you´re getting hammered with your permanently unemployed neighbor, but i´d give none of them to my friends. For my frieds i´d buy a different beer (okay also because i know the beer they love. I don´t like it but if 5/6 drink it, you get it, even if you don´t like it yourself). But something like the vbeers in the video i´d probably only order when on a dinner with my gf´s parents or something like that. (yes they are somewhat high struck sometimes. So you need to adjust and if you drink beer, at least drink something more "civilised" than a pilsener)

As a certified Cicerone, he wrote a lot of the course materials we studied. He's one of the most knowledgeable beer people alive. Plus, being the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery for a quarter century is a pretty big deal too.
@@chazlawther3710 how did you get certified?
@@noahdetiveaux9722 Working in the alcohol industry helped connect with a group studying for it. You need to take Certified Beer Server first, which you can do online. Then check beer focused liquor stores and ask if there's a Cicerone group starting. You can also get info from their website. There's a syllabus you study, and exams are carried out in many major cities. Joining a group helps a lot, but it can totally be done solo. It's just way cheaper to do style tasting in groups, and you'll usually gain insight from the group.

Love this guy.
I was guessing the canned one was a kettle sour vs. a Barrel aged fruited sour.
@@byronsmith3152My guess would rather be that the cheap one was a Berliner Weisse aged with fruit while the other one was a Kriek
I love how impressed he is with barrel-aged beer A at 18:25. Also funny how they cut away just before he takes his third sip. Like "hey buddy, easy on the drinking there, we don't want to encourage the audience to actually finish their beer".
This video introduced me to oak-aged beer, and I can now say I’ve found a beer out there that I like. Thanks Garrett!
Yep, I'll be buying some this arvo
