What brings more people together than beer? All around the world, the liquid gold gathers family, friends, and strangers. It’s deeply rooted in the culture of many nations, and the art of brewing has been practiced and perfected for thousands of years. Some of these old recipes are still around known.

Each brewer creates a unique tasting experience which he can control by adding different ingredients to her or his beer. That’s the art of brewing.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the art of brewing also made its way into other art forms. From paintings of beer to paintings made out of beer, sculpting, music, architecture, and even crude cave drawings: beer and art have a long history together. Sculptures of brewers have been excavated that date back to ancient Egypt, and famous painters like Vincent Van Gogh and Peter Paul Rubens were fascinated by beer and painted the liquid gold several times.
Beer is art. And there is a lot of beer to discover in art. In the second season of “Beer-tastic!” we connect the dots. Let’s explore the history of art made by beer-lovers over the last hundreds and thousands of years.. and taste what inspired them.
Cheers!
