"Still Brewing Art" will highlight SAMA's history as the first and only accredited art museum housed in a historical brewery, museum officials said. The limited-time exhibition will display large-format brewery posters as well as rare pre-Prohibition objects from San Antonio's Lone Star Brewery, historic photographs and site plans from 1976 that were used during the one-time brewery’s transformation into a museum.

To celebrate the exhibition, the museum will host a one-night-only pop-up bier garden with live music by local Indie Latin group Volcán!, a live performance by German singing society Beethoven Männerchor, a vendor market and cash bar provided by Stout House. Museum officials also will lead beer-themed gallery tours, art activities and bar games. Food writer Ruvani de Silva will be on hand for a series of Sip n’ Learn talks.

The SAMA Bier Garten will operate from 6-8 p.m. Access is free for museum members and complimentary for non-members with same-day museum admission.

Still Brewing Art will be on view at SAMA, 200 W. Jones Ave., from June 30 through Sept. 3.
