Strangebird Brewing is teaming up with the Memorial Art Gallery on “Clothesline State of Mind,” a limited-edition sour ale created to celebrate Rochester’s annual art festival. The beer blends tropical fruit flavors with a subtle spicy kick, offering a distinctive taste inspired by the spirit of the event. The collaboration celebrates the creativity and community behind one of Rochester’s longest-running arts events.
According to a press release from Strangebird Brewing and Memorial Arts Gallery “Clothesline State of Mind” beer will be available during the two-day festival on Saturday, August 29, and Sunday, August 30.
“Clothesline State of Mind” is a 4.5% ABV sour ale with paw paw fruit and pink peppercorn. Featuring Pilsen, Heidelberg, and Carapils, the beer delivers a tropical fruit-forward profile balanced by a zesty, woody snap on the finish. The beer celebrates the creativity of the arts community and the craft brewing community in Rochester alike, offering festivalgoers a taste of Strangebird’s unique flavor profiles.
“When our friends at MAG approached us about brewing a beer to celebrate the M&T Bank Clothesline Art & Fine Craft Festival, it was an absolute no-brainer. It was an incredible opportunity to team up with a pillar of our community and showcase our beer at one of the longest-running arts festivals in the country. It’s truly a privilege,” said Mike Singer of Strangebird. “We hope everyone enjoys what we created together. This beer brings together the Americas through ingredients from throughout the continents—a little north, a little central, a little south, all working in harmony. With any luck, it’ll help bring our community together, too.”
Now in its 69th year, the M&T Bank Clothesline Art & Fine Craft Festival held on the grounds of the Memorial Art Gallery is one of the longest continuously running art festivals on the East Coast, drawing thousands of visitors each year. The festival features nearly 400 artists from around the region, live musical entertainment, food trucks and vendors, hands-on family activities, and shopping. Festivalgoers will find Clothesline State of Mind available in cans at multiple indoor and outdoor Brown Hound locations throughout the festival grounds while supplies last.
