On June 13, in a new addition to the Art & Beer series happening at the Portland Art Museum, five breweries (Widmer Brothers Brewing, Breakside Brewery, Ecliptic Brewing, Humble Brewing, and Laurelwood Brewing) will showcase beer inspired by one of the museum’s paintings. In this upcoming installment, brewers draw inspiration from The Drunken Cobbler by Jean-Baptiste Greuze. For $12 ($10 for museum members) event goers will enjoy samples of the beers, light snacks, and a conversation about the painting, art conservation, and the parallels between art preservation and brewing. The program will begin at 6 pm on June 13, at 1119 SW Park Ave.

The tasty breads found at Philippe’s Bread are, in part, the result of a partnership with Camus Country Mill’s unique whole grain flour, produced locally using ancient stone mill techniques. Now, fans of Philippe’s Bread can make their own Philippe’s-inspired loaves using Philippe’s Artisan Bread Mix sold by the local organic grain grower and artisan flour producer. The bread mix was designed in direct collaboration with Philippe and is available for purchase online.
