Most fans of craft beer already know what a work of art these fine brews are. Now the art community at large is embracing craft beer at a level that I have never seen before. Not only are you seeing craft beer in the Wynwood/Design District taking over most bars in the area but you are also seeing some not so normal places popping up to grab a brew while you check out some art at the art fairs going around town all week.
