FRIDAY JULY 20
The Beer Project – Night 2 – Local Brewers + Art
Drink with purpose, and preserve a masterpiece! Join us and the area’s best breweries for tastings of ONE-NIGHT ONLY specialty beer creations at the MFA. Taste small-batch brews created for The Beer Project from local brewers like Green Bench, 3 Daughters, Flying Boat, Rapp, and Mastry’s.
This year, when looking for Beer Project inspiration we looked to our mosaics and the ancient city of Antioch. And a twist this year is that each recipe was created by USFSP Brewing Arts students working with the above brewers! Beer recipes were formulated using the flavors and history of ancient civilizations.
