This weekend is a great time to begin your trial run of an event many more of us will begin to enjoy over the coming months when the temps in the city rise and tempt us to wander to the lakeshore.
And while the water will be too cold to dip even a lowly toe into the icy surf, the events are already beginning to heat up. On Friday night comes a brand new event from the Muskegon Museum of Art entitled ON TAP.
This beer-and-cider-focused event in an art setting will feature lakeshore brands of craft brews, including Saugatuck Brewing Co. (Neapolitan, Oval Beach Blond), New Holland (Sun Dog, Full Circle), Pigeon Hill (Walter Blond Ale, Shifting Sands IPA), Vander Mill Ciders (Hard Apple, Blue Gold, Totally Roasted), Unruly Brewing Company, Big Lake Brewing, and landlubbers Founders (Founders Pale, Centennial IPA) and Perrin (Black).
In addition to getting five four-ounce tasting samples and all the food one can sample with each paid ticket, guests of the event will have a chance to rate the beers with a scorecard.
On this night focused on the art of Michigan's craft beer, you can also tour the Muskegon Museum of Art, which has one of the most diverse collections of art around and reflects the face of the people of Muskegon. It is a rare bird in the world of art and is way ahead of many other museum collections around the country that are struggling to catch up.
Tickets are on sale at the MMA Gift Store, Pigeon Hill Brewing Company and Unruly Brewing Company in Muskegon, the Book Nook and Java Shop in Montague, at Our Brewing Company in Holland, and by phone at 231.720.2580.
Admission: Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door.
