Free Beer! (And a Book Signing, Too)

​Brooklyn Brewery's brewmaster Garrett Oliver knows a lot about beer, and you're about to as well -- 960 pages of knowledge.

As the editor of the beer-buff tome The Oxford Companion to Beer (out in early October), Oliver will be tapping into his expertise as a beer-mind for both the connoisseur and dilettante at Omnivore Books' event -- and did we mention the free beer?

SF's own Dogpatch-area Almanac Brewery will be on hand with free brew (specific type TBA, according to Omnivore Books' owner Celia Sack). Oliver is set to give a talk and answer questions all while the malt and hops stay hopping.

The book itself is already garnering praise, and it promises to be a comprehensive resource for those in the know and those hoping to get there some day. But glance over at an interview with Oliver and then come hear him yourself -- drinks are on us.

Garrett Oliver will be at Omnivore Books on Food on Monday, Oct. 3 from 6 to 7 p.m. Omnivore Books is at 3885a Cesar Chavez Street (at Church) in the Mission.
