Who: The Brooklyn Brewery started in 1987 when former AP Middle East Correspondent Steve Hindy and banker Tom Potter quit their day jobs and started the brewery. They started brewing at a facility in Upstate New York and in 1989 got their first truck. With a team of stalwart salesmen, they begun peddling Brooklyn Lager in the streets of New York City. In 1996, Mayor Rudy Guiliani cut the ribbon to open their new brewery in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood, the first successful commercial brewery in New York City since 1976. Today, The Brooklyn Brewery is among America’s top 40 breweries, and Brooklyn Lager is among the top draft beers in New York City.
Garrett Oliver is the brewmaster of The Brooklyn Brewery. After years of amateur brewing inspired by beers he had encountered during a year in England, Oliver began brewing professionally at Manhattan Brewing Company in 1989 as an apprentice. He was appointed brewmaster there in 1993. He soon became widely known for his flavorful interpretations of traditional brewing styles and as an avid and entertaining lecturer and writer on the subject of fine beer. Oliver has hosted hundreds of beer tastings and dinners, writes regularly for beer and food-related periodicals, and is an internationally recognized expert on traditional beer styles and their affinity with fine cuisine.
Newport’s Seafood was the West End Historic District’s first upscale restaurant, opening in 1983. The concept is simple – to purchase fresh fish from brokers on all coasts every single day, prepare it with simple elegance and serve it with sincerity, honesty and pride. This simple concept has allowed Newport’s Seafood and Steak to thrive in Dallas for more than 26 years.
