Ides 27: Radicle Sour

The radicle is the first part of a seedling to emerge from the seed. And so our Radicle Sour brings together an emerging artist and an emerging brewer, collaborating in celebration of the 57th annual Toronto Outdoor Art Fair. Started in 1961 by Murray and Maravelle Koffler, the TOAF has helped launch numerous careers. Notable artists such as Ken Danby, David Blackwood, Joanne Tod, Jennifer Stead and Harlan House exhibited here during early stages of their careers and, last year, Katrina Jurjans did the same, winning the Best of Student award. Says Katrina: “This painting shows a moment of emotional liberation. The figures are an embodiment of the delicate emotional balance between holding on and letting go, embracing one another while simultaneously releasing heavy feelings. Relationships are hard + love is continuously reshaped.“ We hope you’ll agree that this Radicle Sour, liberally dry-hopped with Galaxy hops, is a work of art in its own right, and we thank our own artist, James Turco, for this thoughtful and tasty composition.

This is the third in our annual ‘Radicle’ series collaboration with the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair.
