Malt Ball
Recommended
Is there a more perfect union than beer and music? The answer is no. To celebrate this sacred bond, we at the Mercury teamed up with Mississippi Studios and Oregon Brewers Guild to bring you our fifth annual Malt Ball. This Sunday, put on your best beer-drinking clothes and head to N Mississippi, where you’ll be greeted by a double whammy of intoxication: Six guest brewers—StormBreaker, Fort George, Double Mountain, Hopworks, Hair of the Dog, and Lompoc—have crafted delectable beers specifically designed to pair with each of the fantastic lineup’s six local bands. There’s the soulful electro-pop of Natasha Kmeto, the lo-fi folk-rock of Point Juncture, WA, the conjuring punk of the Ghost Ease, the freeform grooviness of Bitch’n, the electrifying riff-rock of Months, and the experimental pop of Aan. Don’t forget about the beer. Mmm. Beer. CIARA DOLAN
