NVC Brewfest 2011: The Reconciler

NVC will be bottling their first batch of beer, connecting with the historic tradition of church’s being the places the make the best beer. Our beer, “The Reconciler”, will be released on July 18 at 55 Degree wine in Atwater Village at 7pm. A free glass of our beer will be given to all who attend! That’s right, a free glass of our craftsmen double Belgium, laced with a hint of IPA. Also, non-alcoholic root beer will also be given away at the event for those who don’t drink alcohol. See you on July 18!!!

For centuries, monasteries served as bastions of civility, preserving learning and extending charity to those around them. In this context a rich tradition of beer making developed, one that provided for the poor and evidenced a belief in a God who desires to see life and creativity flourish. Sadly, this sacred craft has all but disappeared from the Church today. For this reason Northland Village Church has chosen to embrace this art, because we also are a people who care about community, hospitality, and creativity. This beer is the fruit of our labor. We hope enjoying it will spark good conversation and deep reflection on the beauty of this life.

At Northland Village Church we deeply care about crating spaces for reconciling relationships. One of the most powerful ways that we accomplish this mission is by hosting the Annual Atwater Art Walk. The Art Walk began with a grant that was given to the church and has turned into a sustainable event for all Los Angelinos.

At NVC we believe that we all have a story. Every one of us. We live in a city of stories. Over 12 million of them. At the Atwater Village Art Walk, we hope for two things. Firstly, we hope to create a space that celebrates our different stories through the art of our eclectic backgrounds. Secondly, it is our deeper hope that the Art Walk doesn’t end with the simple sharing of stories. We hope that through our art we develop new relationships with people different than ourselves. This is where my story and your story intersect to create our story. Please join us as co-authors in making our story in Los Angeles more meaningful.
