If you're a big time beer lover and are looking for a good excuse to play hooky on what will likely be a beautiful summer day you won't want to miss this one.

Garrett Oliver, brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery, author of The Brewmaster's Table, and seriously passionate beer advocate, will talk about the history and lore of beer  at this June's Union Square Cafe Morning Market Meeting.

I had the pleasure of hearing to Garrett speak at this year's Good Experience Live conference at the Times Center. He is a thoroughly engaging speaker and all around fun guy.

The event will be held at Union Square Cafe and runs from 8 to 10:15am on Wednesday, June 25th. Tickets are $60pp and will get you a nice sampling of beers, coffee, muffins and some face time with USHG honcho Danny Meyer and NYC's biggest beer advocate. As of this afternoon tickets are still available but they'll go fast so call 646-747-0581 to reserve today.
