See “Storied Strings” and sip on a lager in its honor starting next month. The VMFA collaborated with Starr Hill Brewery to create a limited-edition beer which will be available on Sat., Oct. 1.
Be among the first to try the brew at the release party , which will take place at Starr Hill Beer Hall & Rooftop (3406 W. Leigh St.) from 4:30-9 p.m. The light-bodied beer is said to have notes of biscuit + toffee and a subtle malt sweetness.
The painting “Jessie with Guitar” (1957) is featured on the can.
