Hours: 1pm - 5pm

Join us on May 19, 2012 at 1-5pm for the Mash Tun Festival.
The Mash Tun Festival is a new craft beer festival located in the neighborhood of Bridgeport, the Community of the Future. The festival features some of the world's best breweries. Flagship and rare beers will be poured alongside one-of-a-kind concoctions at the stunning Bridgeport Art Center at 35th and Racine. The festival will be held in the 19th century loading dock next to the center's sculpture garden.
We will be pouring a few dozen beers by participating breweries including our friends at: Half Acre, Three Floyds, St. Feuillien, Dogfish Head, Stone, Founders, Lagunitas, La Trappe, Pipeworks, 5 Rabbit, Virtue Cider, Unita, Great Lakes and others.
The festival is a celebration of the release of Mash Tun: A Craft Beer Journal. The Mash Tun is a new publication put out by your buddies at Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar and The Public Media Institute, a non profit arts and culture organization based in Bridgeport. Mash Tun is our paean to craft beer. It follows the pleasures and aesthetics of craft beer and how it intersects with food, culture, and society. We think you'll like it.
Festival tickets are $40 each which includes unlimited pours of flagship beers, tickets for rare and home brew beers, a tasting glass, a copy of the Mash Tun Journal as well as some snacks and food trucks to eat at, to boot. Tickets are available online through the http://www.mashtunfest.org website or in person at Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar. Proceeds of the festival will go to Public Media Institute. Visit mashtunfest.org for information.
The Bridgeport Art Center has parking for over 400 vehicles, is close to the White Sox 35th St Red Line, the Ashland Orange Line and the Metra. We will have a shuttle between The Sox Red Line and the venue.
There is limited capacity and there will be no ticket sales at the loading dock.

Pig Slop
First Lutheran Church of The Trinity
Community Center
643 W 31st St (near Halsted & 31st)
Hours: 7-11pm
Admission: $5 suggested donation
This is Pig Slop: being a St. Louis-based coalescence of Art-Damaged and Nubile souls, oozing together in a rather literal sense, spending endless nights (what is daytime?) reiterating their concoction of music, performance, “music,” and visual surgery. Unmoored for a weekend from its (charming, we hear) River City warehouse, Pig Sloppers are a-crawling from the slimy birth-hole of anti-symbolic (what WERE semiotics?) convention to (re)present installed, infused and terminally insane artworks---plus hot finger-poppin’ beats [noise performances, performance artists, dance dj for endtimes]. This is joie de vivre by way of fast food grease and abandoned urban hotboxes; welcome to the festive world of---pardon the acid-prose---a post-donut, pre-cryogenic, defrosted landscape of cybernetic-cavedwelling gruntery. In short: as an alternative to the internet (what WAS communication?), Pig Slop promises you times of a tried, true and disappointingly genuine fashion. We are collective, ownership is boring, and role-playing is the new night-time gig. http://www.facebook.com/pigslopstudios
