    idk who’s picking these people, but give them a raise

    This guy is a total bro. Not snobby at all and just wants people to enjoy beer in whatever way they want. Such a contrast with your stereotypical beverage elitists.
  • @TroublingPath
    Seasoned craft brewery tour guide here, and I’m so glad he ended on “Drink what you like.” Sometimes people get weirdly judgmental about the beer preferences of others. At the end of the day, there are hundreds of beer styles for a reason, so everyone can find at least one style they actually like.

    "The brewmaster, of course, is a magical person." I'm honestly not sure you'd be allowed to wear that jacket if you weren't magic.

    Regarding Cans vs. Bottles: At least in Germany the bottle is more environmentally friendly, since they get used again and again. You bring the empty bottles to the local grocery shop, they then get sent to a cleaning plant, where they pressurewash the bottles inside and out with steaming hot water. Afterwards they get reused for beer. The size and shape of most bottles is according to a standard, so different brewers use the same bottles. It's far less energy intense than smelting and remanufacturing cans.

    Imagine being this insanely knowledgeable but also this personable, super rare combo
  • @MrMagEck
    This guy could sell anything with his positive energy. Probably the best beer advocate on the planet.
  • @melgonzales4004
    The amount of knowledge that this man delivers in a digestible way is fantastic
  • 400 year old beermancer. Not an officially recognized school of magic but a globally appreciated one.
  • @brothercaptain
    Garrett seems like a chill dude. Probably be fun to kick back and have a beer with.
  • @Swordsman1425
    This guy has a face made for movies, a voice made for radio, and a great personality! I wanna see more of Garrett!
  • @alimon89
    This man is a living legend. He basically wrote the handbook on craft brewing.
  • 😂 I love the attitude of the first tweet asking about hops. I feel like it’s one of those things that once you ask a wannabe “brew master” about it, they’ll tell you everything about how it effects flavor, but not actually tell you what they are or or why it is used in beer in the first place. This man gave very nice explanations!
  • @drsch
    The last part is so true. Drink what you like. Snobs can sod off.
  • This man has a voice that the world of voiceover might love. The beer wizardry is just a bonus
  • I think they should get a wine master and a beer master together in a face off where they simultaneously learn about the other’s respective beverage and try and prove that their own is superior
