SUMMARY:Talking Texture with Green Bench BrewingMaking an Esoteric Concept Concrete
DESCRIPTION:Great beer is an art\, and like all great artwork\, the magic is in the details. \nBoth New African Masquerades and the art of brewing began with a transformation of raw materials through experimentation. The artists’ inventive approaches to texture\, surface\, and form offer a natural point of connection to the tactile processes of malting\, fermenting\, blending\, and crafting beer. Together\, these practices invite us to think about how materials can be reimagined through collaboration\, process\, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected.\nDiscover how the tactile concept of texture bridges the gap between fine art\, craft brewing\, and guest experience. Kris Johnson and Joan C.W. Hoffman from Green Bench Brewing Co. break down complex\, esoteric concepts and transform them into concrete\, multi-sensory experiences for their guests. Includes an exclusive\, guided beer tasting. \nSat\, Sept 12\, 1 pm – 3 pm\n$15 for MFA Members\n$35 for Not-Yet-Members \nREGISTER \nNot yet a member?\nBecome a member today and enjoy all the benefits membership at the MFA offers!\nEnjoy free admission\, special access\, discounts at the MFA Shop and Café Clementine\, and more. \nBECOME A MEMBER \n  \n\n\nKhris Johnson\, Founding Brewer and Co-Owner\n \nKhris Johnson is the founding brewer behind Green Bench Brewing Co. in St. Petersburg\, Florida\, where he has helped build one of the state’s leading breweries through a focus on technical excellence\, thoughtful hospitality\, and community engagement. An active advocate for the Florida craft beer industry\, Khris is passionate about brewer education\, mentorship\, and sharing practical lessons from building and operating a modern brewery. His experience spans recipe development\, production management\, technical brewing processes\, quality systems\, business strategy\, and creating hospitality-driven beer programs.. \n\n\nJoan C. W. Hoffmann\, Community Engagement\n  \nJoan Hoffmann is a story-driven hospitality professional who has been working with Green Bench Brewing for six years. She has worn many hats around the brewery – a Joan of All Trades\, if you will – but none is more satisfying than working with the Front of House team\, leadership\, and our community partners to tell the stories that weave through St. Pete.  \n\n  \n\nSponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts. \n
