Brooklyn Brewery is happy to sponsor Slideluck Potshow (SLPS) here at home and around the world. SLPS is a NYC-based arts non-profit, operating in many cities globally, that aims to bring people together around food and art, and to give people an interesting, engaging, and fun platform for sharing art with their community.

Slideluck Potshow DC IV

Since the early days of 1988, The Brooklyn Brewery has striven to support the myriad of arts in New York City. When the brewery in Williamsburg opened up, we regularly hosted shows for neighborhood artists. Among many others, institutions like BAM, Brooklyn Museum and Dia Arts Foundation all receive financial and beer support from The Brewery. We are proud to support some of our favorite artists as Brooklyn Brewery’s distribution and the borough’s sphere of influence continue to grow throughout the country and the world.

One of our favorite homegrown art phenomenons is Casey Kelbaugh’s Slideluck Potshow. A combination photo exhibition and D.I.Y. feast, SLPS embodies so much of what Brooklyn Brewery values: community, collaboration, local arts and good, locally made food. We are thrilled to provide our beer for these art parties as they continue to grow and pop up around the globe. The most recent SLPS occurred in Washington D.C. to great acclaim.

Cru vs Brew Fundraiser For Haiti

From BaristaNet.com

Amanti Vino’s wine vs. beer competition dinner on March 23 at the Woman’s Club of Upper Montclair wasn’t the buttoned-up affair I expected. Thankfully. Au contraire, it was casual, friendly, fun and partying on a Tuesday night seemed positively decadent. The five-course dinner was punctuated by friendly and comical sparring between the master wine wonk (Fred Dexheimer) and the master beer brewer (Garrett Oliver). Between the two of them, who were vying for top dog for their wine and beer pairings, they had Amanti Vino staff (Will, Amelia, Thad, Wes and Tim) busy pouring a selection of eight micro-crafted beers and seven wines produced in countries from Greece to Uruguay.

The pairings were going fine, and our table we even got seconds of the fantastic Robert Sinskey Vin Gris (Napa). But we all almost lost it at the cheese course, which featured three cheeses each paired with a brew and a cru! That’s right, the cheese plate brought 6 more glasses. Not that we didn’t enjoy it.

I went to the dinner thinking, I’ll just humor Amanti Vino owner Sharon Sevrens, because really, BEER pairings? To my astonishment, the fine brews provided by Brooklyn Brewery and picked by Oliver were on target complementing the meal. Our table, for the most part, favored the brew pairings over the wine. Several of the beers, complex and spicy, are only available at brewery headquarters in Brooklyn.

You’re a judge today. What do you look for in a pork dish?
I’m looking for a blend of deliciousness, originality and use of the entire animal. If somebody only used the tenderloin, that wouldn’t be very interesting.

Have you ever had a McRib?
When was I was nine years old I had my first, and last, McRib. They used to say “parts is parts.” Lord knows what that means.
