Beer Expert Guesses Cheap vs Expensive Beer | Price Points | Epicurious
Knowing Garrett, I bet he can blindly name all the beers and knows a few of them just off the bottles alone. He truly is a Beer Expert. I have been lucky enough to work for Brooklyn Brewery and was even luckier to be taught all about beer by him.
Jonathan Greenwood Wow that’s awesome! He seems like a good boss
who is he? Does he have a youtube channel???
That corked sour I’d bet it’s an Allagash Coolship, and have no doubt Garrett would know exactly what it was, probably just from the packaging.
v5u7sulh2 head at Brooklyn brewery, editor of the oxford guide for beer. He’s legit.
Out of sheer hope, do you know the “A” beer for the dark lager
Would be much more interesting if the viewer knew the brand.
Or maybe revealed it with the price
I think that has legal repercussions. Specially when this channel is run by a corporation.
if he had a beer review channel i would subscribe. he’s good
You know it’s the good beer when he tastes it and he hits you with the “Pop”, “Boom”, “Zing”
I don’t even like beer but I clicked the video as soon as I saw it. Now I have a lot of knowledge about a beverage I do not enjoy drinking
Me too mate
Same
gosh.. are there no tea experts out there? hello??!!
Yeah, I wanna see that
I know they need to get Shane Dawson on here, hes a TEA expert .
He should do a radio show. Nice smooth voice.
I like this guy
This dude has one of those voices you could listen to all day.
I thought the same thing! he speaks in a way that is sooo comforting and soothing
He has a deep soothing tone but what really helps it is how clear his pronunciations are. I would pay him to narrate my life
Garret Oliver wrote the book on beer, literally. He is the author of The Oxford Companion to Beer.
He’s actually the editor. Each entry is written by individual writers, often with multiple entries.

That’s even more impressive. His job was to make sure that everything was correct, hence his knowledge has to be pretty vast.
+Andre Cruz 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.
He did the Brewmaster’s Table too!
This guy sounds like a character Dave Chappelle created
LMFAO
Would you cut the malarkey!?
OMG, they made one for beer! How about tea?? TEA??!
Yeaaa…I would love that.
Yes please! TEA TEA TEA I love tea!
Janvier Kim. Brits?…?
+Azael Contreras I’m actually Asian! ?? But then again the appeal of tea is massive… So… TEA!!!
They have a tea beer. It’s called Best Dam Hard Iced Tea. By far my favorite beer
I could listen to this man describe paint drying. His voice is the best beer.
Great choice with getting Garrett to do a beer episode!
If I could pick anyone in the beer world to represent us it would be him or Calagione. So much charisma.
Or Julia Herz from the BA
Hell yeah Darwin! Totes MuhGoats
+Danny King Nichole Erny would be good too. First female master Cicerone and has a great camera presence. Lots of talented folks at the top of the beer industry.
I’m surprised he didn’t try any porters or stouts. In any case, he is very eloquent and did an amazing job explaining the characteristics of all the beers 🙂
Maybe a round 2 will happen
Now do wine. Because Adam, and Penn & Teller, has taught us that’s all BS. Let’s see if that’s true.
It’s definitely not true. This challenge would be an insult to any master sommelier.
Yeah lmao they would pick like supermarket wine and then like good wine to make it easy probably. Like the bread one. I dont think it would go like those experiments did.
I really wish they’d tell us what brands are being tasted.
+Chrisfs I think the second white is Allagash. Short bottle and the price is right.
Same, but you know why they can’t/won’t
Yeah they could at least tell us the most expensive one. Then they aren’t dissing anybody but still telling us what the good stuff is.
+Tony Reaves Exactly what I was thinking. Have had it too many times to not know it just from the bottle lol
+Chrisfs nailed it
For those unfamiliar… Garrett Oliver is basically beer royalty if you’re in the industry. He started Brooklyn Brewing Company, one of the highest rated and longest running breweries on the East Coast. And he has authored some of the most important pieces of beer literature of this generation, including the latest edition of the Oxford Beer Companion, which is basically a 600 page encyclopedia of every beer term you could think of.
Dude is the real deal.
Garrett also took on David Chang for the craft beer world. Thanks Garrett!
Omg I’m happy you wrote this. I’ve had their black chocolate stout and it’s been my favorite beer ever since even though I haven’t had it since the place I got it took it off tap. Probably gonna grab some next time I head to New York.
Thank you for the info!! I was wondering
I was gonna say, he definitely sounds like he knows his craft and the history of it. He should teach a class.
+al145 hes contributed quite a bit to various beer education programs. But it’s mostly because he actually writes the books that people would study in beer classes. Lol
NEXT UP: Cocaine expert guesses Cheap vs Expensive Cocaine
I don’t do coke lol just word of reference from friends
“… So Cocaine B is a fairly off-white powder, and when I take my razor blade here to put it into piles, it separates very easily with little to no clumping. To me, that’s a hint that this cocaine has been cut with additives. But let’s see how it snorts.” *SNNNNRRRRT*
+Daniel Chen “oh, yeah, see that burns, its probably got a lot of baking soda or something. The burn should only last a few seconds. *tries the other one* ooh, very bright and fresh with almond notes. This is how a good coke should be”
+Daniel Chen also usually the whiter it is the worse it is… it needs a little color.
“maan, this some motherfuckin’ drywall!”
man, hats off again to the blackboard guy. keep outdoing yourself, it’s amazing.
