The Cubs Home Opener a.k.a “Smoke the Goat” at Sheffield’s Beer and Wine Garden was a great event, as always. This is my third year attending the event as a guest for New Holland Brewing and each year is more fun than the last.

I launched this site the day before “Smoke the Goat” and it was well received online as well as at the event. I handed out free prints of the labels I’ve worked on, courtesy of New Holland, and I also sold some new prints of recent beer paintings I completed of various Cubs legends. All of the art was a hit with the crowd at Sheffield's.
 

Getting a chance to hang out and chat with a bunch of fellow beer nerds was the highlight of my time there. I had so many inquisitive people asking about the art and the beer. I’m looking forward doing more of these events throughout the year!
