The Current Presents PAIRINGS: Beer and Music

Chances are you're familiar with pairings. It's the prix fixe menu you might see out to dinner where the restaurant staff pre-selects each course and pairs it with wine or in more recent trends, beer. At The Current our appetite leans more towards music, but we definitely like our beer too. Voilà! This week we explore the pairings of beer and music. More specifically, we take a look at the hoppy India Pale Ale and sit down with some local brewers from Fulton and Flat Earth to discuss what makes this beer so wildly popular and what music motivates them while they brew. Andy Thompson - a respected musician in his own right, also writes a blog for City Pages called What's The Hops? and helps school us in the history of the IPA. Listen THIS SUNDAY at 9pm and sit back, crack open a cold one and let us take you on a beer and musical journey.
