Local Craft Beer, Dime Novel Art and More at Art on Tap This Weekend

When the worlds of local craft beer and the Tucson Museum of Art collide, it can only mean one thing: it’s Art on Tap time. Combining a dozen in-state breweries with the museum’s current “Western Heroes of Pulp Fiction: Dime Novel to Pop Culture” exhibit, the event will serve to be thought provoking and fun both for your eyes and your taste buds. In keeping with the exhibit’s theme, attendees are encouraged to dress as their favorite illustrated heroes and join in a costume contest.

Participating brewers for this event are:

• Phoenix Ale Brewery 
  
• The Address Brewing
  
• Thunder Canyon Brewery 
  
• Ten55 Brewing 
  
• Four Peaks Brewing Company 
  
• Borderlands Brewing Company 
  
• O.H.S.O. Brewery 
  
• Dragoon Brewing Co. 
  
• Catalina Brewing Company 
  
• Mother Road Brewing 
  
• Public Brewhouse 
  
• 1912 Brewing Company
  

Of course, no beer event would be complete without a rousing beer pong tournament. A $10 buy-in and a partner gets you in the running, with prizes for the first three placing teams. Food vendors for the event include American Flying Buffalo, Mutts Premium Hot Dogs & Sausages, Mama Louisa’s Italian Restaurant and more. The Sonoran Glass School will also be on-site to help you craft your very own beer bottle cap jewelry while Tucson's own Crystal Radio performs.

Art on Tap will be pouring drafts from 4 until 9 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 5 at the Tucson Museum of Art (140 N. Main Ave.). Tickets are $40 the day of the event and $30 online in advance via the museum's website.
