11.22.22 “Portraits in Beer” lunchtime drawing: Anthony from Transmitter Brewing in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Today I’m addition to working on his next beer recipe, he’s working on planning the Thanksgiving dinner he’s going to cook. The special dish he makes every year: celeriac remoulade! It’s a slaw made of celery root with a mustardy kick!

Anyway, when you go to BLDG 77 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard for the holiday market this year on Dec 3+4, buy a beer and buy my art off the walls at Transmitter Brewery—both prints and watercolor paintings are up.

Transmitter Brewing makes incredible farmhouse style beers in the Brooklyn Navy Yard at BLDG77, open to the public and with an outdoor beer garden. I also love that they make local deliveries via cargo bike. They were open to the idea of an exchange of a painting for beer. Win-win in my book, see the second photo here!

A few weeks ago I sketched their head brewer, Ian Kalmes, and we chatted while doing so. Here is just a segment of our conversation, edited down.

Nick: What’s your favorite beer that you make, if it's even possible to choose?

Ian: Between the founders Rob, Anthony and I, we'd choose our altogether favorite as S4, our classic take on a French Saison, and it’s on the hopper side and yeast forward like all of our beers.

Nick: How long have you been in the Brooklyn Navy Yard?

Ian: We’ve been here for two years now.

Nick: What keeps you excited about beer?

Ian: Considering all the options of malt and hop varietals teamed with a choice of yeast strain the iterations of beer are endless: not to mention when you begin to play with adjuncts like fruits, spices and botanicals.

Nick: Thanks Ian!

This is the start of a brewery project of sorts, drawing portraits of craft brewers and painting brewery storefronts. Do you remember a similar exchange in Buffalo at Community Beer Works over the summer? As always, prints of this painting available up on my Etsy via the link in my bio or directly at https://etsy.me/3E1nkol

9.21.21 Lunchtime drawing: Pencil portrait of Ian Kalmes, the Lead Brewer over at Transmitter Brewing in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, a short walk from my studio. He was kind enough to roll a few barrels outside for this sketch, and I asked him about brewing, he loves the “infinite possibilities of beer.”

7.23.21 Lunchtime drawing: So happy to have lunch with Andrew and Cindy from Turnstile Tours, Andrew sketched here with pencil, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard where we each have our studio or office. You might recognize the location from a watercolor I made earlier this month as Transmitter Brewing’s outdoor patio.
