On the occasion of the Luxembourg Museum Days, ludovic hadjeras, artist in residence at Casino Display, has invited Jules Maillot and Kelly Weiss to collaborate on an editorial and brewing project. The three artists invite you to discover and taste the results of this experiment. They worked from a centuries-old traditional smoked beer recipe, Steinbier (stone beer). This beverage has the particularity of being brewed with stones heated over a wood fire. The brew produced for Luxembourg Museum Days was heated using Luxembourg sandstone. This rock, inseparable from the local natural and architectural environment, was collected by ludovic hadjeras from buildings in the city, including Casino Display, as well as in the surrounding forests. The stones travelled to the French Drôme department where the brewing was carried out by Jules Maillot. Following these experiments, Kelly Weiss designed a screen-printed micro-edition to be wrapped around each bottle. It documents the various stages of the project, from harvesting the stones to brewing.
During the weekend, you are heartily welcome to talk with the artists about this brewing experiment, to take part in the silkscreen workshop and to attend an experimental brewing session.
