What is the definition of art? Is brewing Craft Beer an art? It's a great question for Minnesota Beer Day. A good definition of art is "Art is the intentional use of skill and imagination to create an object or experience that expresses ideas, feelings, or beauty" and we at Padraigs Brewing believe that brewing beer with intentional skill and imagination is definitely a beautiful art form. It's a bonus that it's interactive and consumable. Come in and quaff some art with us.
