Eat Art: Beer + Art

This installment of Eat Art's food-and-art series—which combines artist talks and studio visits with dinner or drinks—features veteran home-brewer John LaPolla (co-owner of Bitter & Esters) and artist Eric Steen. Learn about the brewing process and why Steen thinks craft beer is a type of "drinkable sculpture." Then taste Steen's Heather Ale, a sweet amber ale based on an 18th-century Scottish recipe, while noshing on light bites such as chicken and lamb andouille sausage sliders, herb-roasted potatoes and New York State cheddar.
