A Night of Craft Beer & Culture at International Museum of Art & Science
Brew-seum has earned its reputation as the Rio Grande Valley’s premier beer festival, drawing enthusiasts and casual attendees alike. Each year, the event showcases a diverse selection of porters, stouts, ales, wheats, sours, Belgians, ciders, and more, offering something for every palate. Guests have the opportunity to explore and taste an array of unique brews from both local and national breweries, making it a one-of-a-kind experience for beer aficionados.
Beyond the beer selection, Brew-seum also delivers an exciting lineup of live music, delicious food, and interactive activities throughout the evening. Food trucks and local restaurants will be serving up mouthwatering bites to pair with the craft beer selections, while fun games and activities will be scattered across the museum grounds to keep guests engaged throughout the night.
Supporting Art & Science in the RGV
More than just a night of entertainment, Brew-seum serves as a fundraiser for IMAS, contributing over 5% of the museum’s annual operating budget.
