  • Garrett Oliver: Brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery
    Garrett Oliver is a man who wears many fancy hats, but the past year has seen him stuck inside like the rest of us. This, he explains, led to the launch of The Michael James Jackson Foundation for Brewing & Distilling. Oliver tells us how 2020 events sparked a realization that being Black and “seen” isn’t as good as actively bringing others into the fold. He sees formal education as the key to longterm careers for BIPOC in beer and spirits. Hosted by Cat Wolinski.
