MARKET GALLERY PUB
The Market Gallery Pub is an all-senses, one-night, pub that will serve homebrewed beers to the public. Homebrewers all over Scotland have been invited to create beers for this event, where they will be presented as expanded artworks. This event will be part of the programming of the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art and will serve to bring attention to beer as a site for social and creative artmaking. The Market Gallery Pub is the culmination event for the Pub School, a weekly educational-event series where visitors were asked to consider the aesthetics of beer and brewing and the blurring art and beer. So please come and enjoy yourself, and the beers created by the people around you.

One beer will be selected to be reproduced for a short 600 bottle production on the system at Williams Bros. Brewing. The selected beer will be sold via mail order and in specialty shops. This beer will also receive free entry into the International Beer Challenge.

DETAILS
When: April 30th, 2010 - 6-10pm
Where: The Market Gallery (334 Duke St. Glasgow)
Cost: Free (visitors will receive a limited number of drinking tickets)

BEERS
There will be 29 different beers available throughout the night. 26 will be homebrews, and 3 will be from local breweries. Beer Pours will be approximately 240ml per cup, depending on the beer. Keep in mind the event is not just a sampling-event, it is also a pub.

Just wanted to say I read this and thought what a great idea. Aside from the connections with the visual arts etc. this is a great way to promote homebrewing.

Let us know how the event turns out!

The pub school demonstration beers should be interesting. It got a bit warm that weekend and the fermentation went like a rocket but the tastes out of the fermenter were pretty good. Unsurprisingly, the American ale yeast has left a bigger hop presence, and with the English yeast the earthy/biscuity amber malt comes through a lot more.
