Beer Project Returns to the Museum of Fine Arts June 10
The beers fermented in the Burg by such local brewers as Green Bench and St. Pete Brewing Company are in themselves works of fine art. The launch of a new beer is an exhibition in St. Pete inspired flavor. The Museum of Fine Arts recognizes the rising craft and has partnered with brewers from all around the bay area to present the Beer Project.

George Inness, Early Moonrise, Florida
The God of Death, Mictlantecuhtli
Georgia O’Keeffe, Poppy
Red Grooms, De Kooning Breaks Through
