Art & Ale: Irish beers, food and Celtic music 6:30pm Thursday, March 17 at the Stifel Fine Arts Center.

Find your “Kiss Me I’m Irish” t-shirt and come celebrate with the Irish and Irish-at-heart. If you’re tired of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day by standing around a crowded bar drinking light beers with green food coloring, grab your friends and join us at our annual Irish beer tasting event.

Hang out in one of the coolest old mansion’s in Wheeling. Ample supplies of Irish beers are served along with Irish foods. The live Celtic music of Wheeling’s Gallowglass will knocks the moss off your Blarney Stone!

$35 ($30 OI members). Register online or call 304-242-7700.

More than just a beer tasting. . .

Oglebay Institute’s Art & Ale craft beer events are must-attend social gatherings for craft beer enthusiasts in the Wheeling area. During the events, you can also view the art exhibit on display in the gallery and explore the elegant mansion. During warm weather, stroll through the sculpture gardens. You can purchase your favorite brews to take home, too. Most of all, unwind and have fun.

Discover new beers. Socialize with friends. Explore one of Wheeling’s grand, historic properties and view interesting and thought-provoking art at OI’s popular craft beer events.
