art and craft

i love pairing art with craft
in whatever way you want to take that statement
so my heart started to swell when i saw that victory and dogfish head are having a night of art (paintings, sculpture etc.) and craft (beer)
here’s the beer wench with the details

beer geekery

swig n stitch

there is just so much right with the concept of a swig n stitch!
it makes my little crafty heart happy
now if only there was one in vancouver…
wait, just because i haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening…
if anyone hears of anything along these lines please tell me
i have zero spare time, but for a swig n stitch i think i could find some!

railway cask night

last week`s cask…

served a little too cold on the tapping
the further we got into our potent little glasses the more the whiskey made itself known
warm for sure, to much alcohol, i didn’t think so

i had a dinner to get to right afterwards so i tried to be prudent and only have the one glass
prudent or not, that one glass went right to my head!

and in honour of the play-offs to begin the next night, railway staffers got creative and built their own arena, fully equipped with jumbo-tron as well!
i love crafts!

if my plans do not go ahead tonight, i am intrigued to try the r&b agave cactus wheat ale on tap this week

craft beer

ah, time for another post about combining my two favourite crafts
beer and hand-made
