Cohesion Beer Release
Capsoul was founded last year by Richmonders Eric Jackson and Ty Murdaugh with the goal of energizing and diversifying local taprooms. This week, Capsoul is releasing a collaborative beer with Scott’s Addition based Väsen Brewing called Cohesion. This tasty collaboration was brought about after a conversation between Capsoul and Tony Giordano, head brewer of Väsen, about racial injustice. As part of the conversation, they decided to brew a beer together to celebrate unity while raising money to give back to the community. Local artist Marlon Diggs joined in by creating the label for Cohesion to highlight the Richmond art community while showing how distorted, torn and broken pieces can come together to create something beautiful. On Friday, there will be a pre-release party at Chilalay from 6 pm – 9 pm followed by an official release party at Väsen on Saturday. The crew will round things out on Sunday with a VIP Tasting Event in Väsen's private barrel room. The new release features African Queen and Southern Passion hops from South Africa, Azacca cryo hops as well as Norwegian Kveik yeast creating a hazy, citrusy and juicy NE-Style DIPA. Cohesion will be available in 4-packs at Väsen and other local retailers.

Wind, Waves, and Light
An unconventional exhibition called Wind, Waves, and Light at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is designed to stimulate discussion and reflection on how humans are inspired and connected through movement, the shifting elements of the natural world through the seasons and the patterns of migration, pollination and growth. Created by artist and engineer George Sherwood, the exhibit features 12-large scale kinetic sculptures that move and change with the wind – evoking shimmering leaves, flocks of birds, schools of fish, and waves of light and water. The choreography of each piece is governed by a set of basic movements, facilitated by an arrangement of aerodynamic surfaces connected by rotational points. Tickets are included with regular admission.
