Brews & Views: Beauty and the Beast

Pairing Beauty and the Beast with Fort Point beer could have been a novelty gimmick. Instead, this screening leans into the film's warmth and sense of place in ways that actually make the evening feel thoughtfully put together. The beer selection reflects a local favorite, while the museum adds its own touches with themed trivia, a scavenger hunt and a conversation with Fergie L. Philippe, who is currently playing Beast in the North American touring production. The result feels more like a curated night out than a standard movie screening. Even if you've seen the film countless times, watching it in the museum's intimate theater alongside other fans gives familiar moments fresh appeal. It's an easy pick for anyone looking to swap a typical happy hour for something with a little more personality, especially if you appreciate the intersection of film, local craft beer and pop culture.
