Tate Eats tap takeovers return with two new brews inspired by the abstract and natural world in the Hilma af Klint & Piet Mondrian: Forms of Life exhibition.
Our tap takeovers champion British suppliers and encourage creative collaborations with food and drink – inspired by artists.
Both beers will be available in the restaurant and bar spaces within each Tate gallery and via the Tate Shop, including online and partnering websites, for the duration of the exhibition.
Verdant's brew
Inspired by artist Piet Mondrian, the First Note is a 5.2% ABV IPA, a hop-forward, endlessly juicy brew – a style for which Verdant is now world famous.
For this project, the brewery has enlisted the talents of Justin Robertson, a London-based artist. He has explored themes from Forms of Life to create a Mondrian-inspired artwork, the name of which has inspired the brew.

DEYA's brew
Inspired by artist Hilma af Klint, Séance is a 4.5% ABV pale ale created with Tate Eats’s Andrew Downs (Head of Hops and Ops). It’s a session brew that uses orange zest for citrus freshness.
DEYA’s Thom Hobson created a special edition label, drawing inspiration from Klint’s spirituality. 'For this artwork, I wanted to embody Hilma’s approach to spirituality,' said Thom. 'I’ve rendered our crocodile in a way where it feels like it has been summoned by each bodily component bingo prize of a distant outer worldly shape. It feels like a memory, whether familiar is suddenly unfamiliar.'
