Oregon’s Widmer Brothers Brewery is hosting a multi-faceted event in DC on Wednesday, October 3 at the Longview Gallery near the Convention Center and accessible by the Yellow and Green Metro Lines. The event “Explore Your Craft,” is a celebration of the artistry of brewing, cooking, visual art, and musical performance all centered around Widmer Brothers beers. Tickets are $45 and can be purchased here. Tickets are all-inclusive and get you tastings, entertainment, a souvenir glass, and an event guide with beer diary

Explore Your Craft (EYC) will feature a chef-designed menu of dishes made specifically for and with Widmer Brothers beers, served at pairing stations throughout Long View Gallery. A visual and musical feast will fill the space, with a live performance artist and unique soundscapes from local musicians. Once inspired by pints and plates, patrons can test their artistic hand and create a special, one-of-a-kind work of art on a large mural. Widmer Brothers Brewers will also be onsite for a live demonstration in brewing.

Hefeweizen
Rotator IPA
Falconer’s IPA
Drifter Pale Ale
Nelson Imperial IPA
