Beerfly Alleyfight
The Drinking & Writing Brewery's 4th Annual Beerfly
Alleyfight, EAT! DRINK! WATCH!, Happened! What a show!
Beer + Food + Art = Pairing
The Beerfly Alleyfight is a “pairing”
of homebrewed beer, home-cooked food, and homegrown art. The Beerfly
Alleyfight competition goes one step further than other pairings by
adding an artist to the mix.
Each homebrewed beer and home cooked food pair will be matched with a Chicago artist who will interpret the pair as they see fit…an interpretive jazz dance to go with a wheat beer and peanut butter and jelly sandwich…just for example, of course.
Throughout the day, the artists will present their pieces in the Beerfly Alleyfight boxing ring. Some of the artists included this year are last year’s Best in Show winner Neo-Futurist Eliza Burmester and fellow company member Phil Ridarelli; BoyGirlBoyGirl ensemble member David Kodeski; musician John Szymanski; Laura Grey and Laura McKenzie from Laura on Laura; and puppeteers Dan Kerr-Hobert and Bernie McGovern. Everyone who attends gets to sample the homebrewed beer, taste the food, watch the performances, and then everyone votes! Prizes are awarded for best beer, best food, best artistic interpretation, and best overall pairing.
