The Summer Tailoring Lookbook
The Summer Collection with New York Brewmaster Garrett Oliver
Garrett Oliver’s path to becoming the long-standing brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery, as well as an internationally-recognised expert, author, Patron Saint of Pilsner, and the first brewer to win a James Beard award, was a happy accident.
During his last year at Boston University in the early 80s, where he studied broadcasting and film, Oliver took charge of the school’s entertainment programme. “I booked a band called R.E.M., Eddie Murphy’s first tour, and went bowling with The Ramones!” he says with a chuckle. “I moved to London to manage a venue for a bit… and that’s where I discovered a thing called beer.”
Two for the Road: Photos from Summer in Europe
We packed a couple of bags with summer clothes, a pair of tennis rackets, some books and off we went, guided only by fold-out Michelin maps, which have a lovely advantage over apps—they highlight the scenic routes in green.
So we left London behind, crossed the English Channel and arrived in France where we motored through the Champagne region, took in the French culinary capital of Lyon, drove along the breath-taking Route Napoleon from Grenoble to Gap, and then found ourselves on the winding mountain roads that lead to Italy and Turin.
