Foodstuffs: 'Art of the Brew' Comes to the Parrish

The Parrish Art Museum is hosting “Art of the Brew,” a celebration of the Long Island craft brew scene, on Friday, March 31, from 6 to 8 p.m. Guests may sample products from eight breweries, as well as a nonalcoholic wine, learn about the art of beer-making from the brewers, explore the galleries and enjoy live music and hors d’oeuvres.

Participating breweries — several established in the last four years — include Twin Fork Brew Company (Riverhead), Kidd Squid Brewing Co. (Sag Harbor), übergeek (Riverhead), Springs Brewery (East Hampton), Moriches Field Brewing Company (Center Moriches), Blue Point Brewing Company (Patchogue), Long Island Farm Brewery (Manorville) and Montauk Brewing Company. Top Hops will be on hand with their Half Pint Tap Truck — a three-wheeled Piaggio Ape Classic imported from Italy, offering draft beers from Blue Point Brewing Company. For the sober curious, Wölffer Estate is offering its Spring in a Bottle sparkling nonalcoholic rosé.

Guitarist Mike Gary and bass player Steve Shaughnessy will perform live and hors d’oeuvres will be provided by Elegant Affairs Caterers and The Golden Pear Café and Catering, with free chips from North Fork Potato Chips. Tickets are $75, and $55 for Parrish members.

“Art of the Brew” is planned and sponsored by the Parrish Business Council, a volunteer committee of East End professionals dedicated to providing exciting programming and networking opportunities for Parrish Business Members, as well as business leaders and organizations with a passion for culture and the arts.

The Parrish Art Museum is at 279 Montauk Highway, Water Mill. For details, visit parrishart.org.
