This week, Art and Soul is about the culinary arts. 89.1 WEMU's Lisa Barry is joined by Jessica Webster, local food writer and host of 89.1 WEMU's The In Crowd, and special guest Patti Smith.  The three talk about the craft beer scene in Washtenaw County...

Lisa and Jessica and Patti talk about the growing and evolving craft beer business, which Smith says can actually be traced back to saloon days in the 1800's.
