What happens when you mix homebrew, food and art? BEERFLY ALLEYFIGHT!This Saturday the Drinking & Writing Brewery will present its fourth annual Beerfly Alleyfight. In a nutshell, they get ten homebrewers and ask them to brew with some similar base ingredients. Then they're asked to prepare food to pair with the beer. They they're paired with an artist who interprets their pairing. Sound crazy? It is. Sound awesome? It is.
This year nearly half of the brewers are HOPS! members, so go check it out. It's from noon to 4pm on Saturday at the Rock Bottom on State and Grand just north of downtown Chicago. The price of admission includes samples of each pairing as well as performances from each artist. You can buy tickets and get more info here.
For a teaser, you can read about what my wife and I brewed over at my personal blog. If you're too lazy to click on that link, I'll offer you two words as a hint: Cocoa Puffs. You gotta be there!
