When it comes to fire depart-ment charity events, chili usually comes to most people’s minds first. For the Northwest Firefight-ers Charities, however, it is one of the staple partners to the meal that has led to its largest annual charity event.

Beer, namely homebrewed beer, has become the Oro Valley non-profit organization’s biggest friend. The charitable wing of the Northwest Fire Department will hold the Top Hops Home Brew Challenge, its annual homebrew beer competition, on April 6. Organizers expect the largest turnout to date.

The competition brings home-brewing firefighters statewide to Thunder Canyon Brewery, 7401 N. La Cholla Blvd., to showcase their hand-crafted beers. More than 20 state fire departments will be represented in the competition. The winner will have his or her beer brewed and sold by Thunder Canyon Brewery. All proceeds from the event will go to support designated charities from each fire department and Northwest Firefighters Charities Holiday As-sistance Program.

“A lot of firefighters like to brew their own beer,” said Jason Garza, Northwest Firefighters Charity president. “We thought this was a great way to bring some fun into our charity events.”

Title event sponsor Thunder Can-yon Brewery was an appropriate partner in the beer competition. One of Tucson’s oldest and most decorated breweries, Thunder Canyon is popular with Northwest firefighters given its location and craft beer, Garza said.

In fact, the idea for the competi-tion was hatched more than four years ago at Thunder Canyon. Charity organizers were discussing ideas for a large-scale event that would eclipse their previous cam-paigns when they realized their answer was resting on their table.

“We have a great relationship with

them,” said Steve Tracy, Thunder Canyon owner. “We loved the idea and we are very excited to partner with them to make it happen.”

Thunder Canyon will brew a full-size batch of the winning firefight-er’s beer, which is about 30 kegs. The beer will be sold at both of Thunder Canyon’s locations and all proceeds will benefit the winner’s designated charity.

This is the third year Northwest Firefighters Charities will hold the event. In previous years, the competition was held during the Oktoberfest time-frame, which forced it to compete with other large-scale beer festivals. Holding the event in April should increase attendance and exposure. The festival is expected to draw more than 3,500 attendees.

The event itself has taken years to plan. Unlike a typical charity chili festival, the beer competition involves numerous strict laws sur-

rounding alcohol sales and con-sumption. Navigating these issues has proven to be a much more difficult task than finding home-brewing firefighters, Garza said.

With all the legal matters taken care, the event is expected to ac-commodate thousands of beer-lovers. More than a dozen local and state breweries will take part in the event as well, offering their own beers and serving as judges for the competition.

“It was a no-brainer,” said Mike Mallozzi, Borderlands Brewery president. “We take any opportu-nity to help the public.”

Using beer as a charitable re-source is quickly becoming popular amongst local breweries, Mallozzi said. Last year, Border-lands partnered with home-brew-ing firefighters to create Smoke and Irons, a beer sold locally to support the Greater Tucson Fire Foundation.

The competition has also done more than raise money. At least three firefighters have started their own breweries, including the recently-opened Ten Fifty-Five Brewing in Tucson. The company was started in-part by John Vy-borny, whose hand-crafted double IPA beat out dozens of other entrants in the 2011 competition. Golder Ranch firefighters Jeremy Hildebrand and Matt Gordon start-ed Sentinel Peak Brewing Compa-ny, last year and are in the process of landing a brewing location in Tucson. Both participated in the Northwest Firefighters Charities beer challenges previously.

Supporting the charities is the most important motivation for the competition, but it also gives local breweries some additional exposure. Local breweries and brew masters often work together to promote and support their industry, said Tracy, who opened Thunder Canyon in 1997 and has been brewing beer since the late 1980s.

“None of us consider each other competition,” he said. “It’s people who are doing their hobbies for a living.”

In the past decade, large-scale American brewing companies such as Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors have been taken over by international companies. Anheuser-Busch is owned by Belgium-based Inbev while Miller-Coors is a product of England’s SAB Miller and Molson-Coors. In fact, despite being based in Bel-gium, Inbev is actually a Brazilian company while SAB Miller is South African.

Many beer enthusiasts lament the corporatization and offshoring of American beers, saying qual-ity of taste has been replaced by profit margins, said Mollozzi, who once served as a quality assurance technician for Anheuser-Busch in Denver.

“It’s inevitable,” he said. “When companies create beer to serve

the highest profit margin, the beer will become less flavorful and quality will slide.”

This has created a vacuum of small breweries, most of which started with home-brewers like those competing at the Top Hops Brew Competition. Although Arizona has been slow to see the effect, there has been a dramatic rise in local breweries in the past few years.

Northwest Firefighters Charities has capitalized on this move-ment. The Tops Hops Home Brew Challenge has attracted other fire departments nationwide who want to create similar charitable events. Partnering local brewing and community outreach seems to have resonated well amongst all involved, Garza said.

Event attendees will be able to sample beers from breweries around the state. Competitors will also have at least 10 gallons of

beer to accommodate the crowd. Judges will consist of representa-tives from breweries and fellow firefighters. The event starts at 6 p.m. and includes live music from the Northwest Firefighters Pipes and Drums, Cooper Meza, The Sound Bites, and other groups. Along with the beer and enter-tainment, the event will have food trucks for attendees.

Tracy said he expects people to get a new perspective on fire-fighter charity events for first-time attendees.

“Fire departments all over the country have charity chili cook-offs,” he said. “This is something different and fun. Firefighters love their beer.”

Cost: $30 at the door, $20-$25 advance or online. For more in-formation on the Top Hops Home Brew Challenge, please visit www.tophopschallenge.com

Tucson, April 12th & 13th Phoenix, April 20th

Carnival of Illusion will celebrate the 250th performance of its blockbuster vaudeville-inspired illusion show in April 2013. The

magic duo’s milestone will be celebrated in Tucson on April 12th and 13th at the Doubletree Reid Park Hotel and in Phoenix on Saturday April 20th at the Arizona Biltmore Resort.

“It’s exciting to see a unique, fun and dynamite night-time attraction to highlight the creativity and expertise that we have in Arizona. We’re ecstatic that Sarlot and Eyed created this audience generator in our state,” said Reini Marsh, President of the Arizona Attraction’s Alliance. “This is absolutely fantastic. We have sold out every single show during the last two seasons. That’s 180 sold out shows in a row,” stated Roland Sarlot. Susan Eyed, one of the few female magicians in the world, said, “They say time flies when you’re having fun, but it feels like we’re traveling at the speed of light!”

Carnival of Illusion plays Fridays and Saturdays during high season. In addition to entertaining thousands of guests and performing 90 Carnival of Illusion performances and an additional 60 private events every year, Sarlot and Eyed are supporters of charities with their philanthropy dedicated to bringing joy to Arizonans.

CARNIVAL OF ILLUSION TO CELEBRATE 250th PERFORMANCE IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN

Plan a visit to the University of Arizona Museum of Art where world-class art is always on view. The museum is open to the public all year long and, with changing exhibitions and more than 6,000 artworks in its permanent collection, there’s always something new to see.

Among the jewels of the UA Museum of Art’s collection are 26 paintings from a cathedral in Salamanca, Spain. The Altarpiece of Ciudad Rodrigo was painted in a style that was encouraged

by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, Spain’s rulers from 1474 to 1504. The paintings are among the most important artworks produced in 15th-century Spain. The altarpiece, also called a retablo, is always on view.

Right now, visitors can enjoy an extraordinary exhibition of collages of familiar cities such as New York, Chicago and San Francisco that have been transformed into glittering mosaics of color by Tucson artist, Andy Burgess. This colorful

exhibit also includes collages in which the artist used hundreds of pieces of cut and pasted paper to create a sense of nostalgia for the world that people once aspired to, but not the one they actually lived in. The exhibit called, Paper City, runs through April 14. The exhibit,

Ways of Knowing in the Renaissance, is open now through June 2. It features Renaissance engravings and etchings selected from the UA Museum of Art’s own collection that show the ways in which nature, culture, society, and technology were given shape and understood in the past. The UA Museum of Art opened more than 50 years ago and collects and exhibits artworks representing many of the principal cultures and periods of world art history.More than seven centuries of artworks by a long list of universally renowned master artists including Rembrandt, Renoir, Picasso, Kollwitz, O’Keefe, Warhol and Hopper are shown. The permanent collections include African American and Native American art, decorative and design arts, Work Projects Administration prints, contemporary works, as well as objects from antiquity. Information about current and upcoming exhibitions and events at the UA Museum of Art is available on the website: www.artmuseum.arizona.edu

The UA Museum of Art is located at the southeast corner of Park Avenue and Speedway Boulevard on the University of Arizona campus. Visitor parking is available in the Park Avenue Garage on the north side of Speedway Boulevard. There is a fee for parking in the garage on weekdays; parking is free on weekends. Museum Hours: Tuesday-Friday, 9am-5pm Saturday-Sunday Noon-4pm. Closed Mondays and University holidays.

Visitors Welcome at the University of Arizona Museum of Art

REVIEWERS, ROUNDTABLE

The following are reactions from each of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film commentators in an effort to generate a well-rounded overview of this weekend’s new releases.

Randy: There is something oddly likable about this screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s novel of the same name. It is certainly not one of the best movies of the season and the studio has pushed its Phoenix release back numerous times, but one can admire the free spirit of the characters. Also im-pressive are the performances by the young and talented cast (and yes, even Kristen Stewart). Sam Riley and Horizon High School’s Garrett Hedlund are just as likeable in their not so likable roles. (Grade: B)

Joseph: Regardless of the com-pany that they might afford you, some road trips should just never be taken. “On the Road” is one of them. Director Walter Salles’ cinematic adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s novel of the same title is a tedious, overlong and meandering motion picture - which is a shame consider-ing its cast includes the likes of Kristen Stewart, Amy Adams and Viggo Mortensen. Sure, the scenery is sometimes spectacu-lar but you are almost guaran-teed to get lost along the way - be it out of sheer boredom or simply out of the strenuously spontaneous nature of the nar-rative. (Grade: F)

‘Detour’Neil Hopkins plays a man who, trapped inside his car by a mudslide with no hope of rescue, must defy the odds - battling Mother Nature for his survival. Playing exclusively at Grand Cinemas Crossroads. (NR - 87 minutes)

Joseph: Single-setting thrill-ers (think elevators a la “Devil” and ski chairlifts a la “Frozen”) are a tough nut to crack. They are even tougher when a single actor is responsible for car-rying the entire movie on his shoulders alone (think Ryan Reynolds in “Buried” and James Franco in “127 Hours”). How-ever, writer/director William Dickerson and star Neil Hop-kins have done exactly that with “Detour” - and on an indie filmmaker’s production budget no less. The film features all of the claustrophobia, despera-tion and pure panic that you could possibly want in a mo-tion picture, taking you on an emotional and psychological roller coaster ride without ever leaving the confines of a car. (Grade: B)

‘The Gatekeepers’Filmmaker Dror Moreh inter-views all surviving former heads of Shin Bet - the Israeli security agency whose activities and membership are closely held state secrets. Playing exclu-sively at The Loft Cinemas. (PG - 101 minutes)

Stan: This compelling docu-mentary, an Oscar® nominee in the Best Documentary cat-egory for this year’s awards, captures the fervor of commit-ment by the interviewees of the Israeli security agency to protect its citizens from acts of terrorism including collateral citizen deaths and ally relation-ships, while simultaneously giv-ing the viewers the enormity of the decisions that are constant-ly made on a regular basis. This reviewer was reminded of what the decision making process must have been like for our President and his team to arrive at a ‘go’ for the clandestine mission involving Osama Bin Laden and the repercussions from our own allies. (Grade: B)

‘On the Road’Sam Riley and Garrett Head-lund play an aspiring writer and an ex-con who, determined not to get locked into a constricted life, cut their ties and take to the road in search of the world, of other encounters and of themselves. Kristen Stewart also stars. Playing exclusively at The Loft Cinema. (R - 124 minutes)

Stan: Commonly called ‘Road movies’ and I personally prefer the reference of ‘Discovery films’, director Walter Salles latest, with a cast of very well known actors in this indepen-dent feature film gem, brought to mind my own six month ‘lost soul’ journey that occurred in May of 68’ upon my return from serving in Vietnam to reestab-lish my own essences that were buried deep within my psychic. The slow and deliberate pac-ing of ‘On the Road’ serves to give one pause to reflect on our own thoughts, while the breathtaking cinematography is a reminder of the joys of living life. (Grade: C+)

‘Quartet’Maggie Smith plays an eternal diva whose arrival disrupts a

‘Lunarcy!’Filmmaker Simon Ennis follows a disparate group of dreamers and schemers who all have one thing in common: they’ve devoted their lives to the moon - from the young man who’s resolved to depart for the moon (permanently) to the ex-ventriloquist who’s made millions selling moon lots. Airing 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 3 exclusively on EPIX. (NR - 100 minutes)

home for retired opera sing-ers’ annual concert. Playing exclusively at The Loft Cinema. (PG-13 – 95 minutes)

Stan: In what I call ‘niche films’, those themes for a specific age/life group and in this case seniors, as Maggie Smith, who star’s in ‘Downton Abbey’, one of my favorite television series, provides the story glue that holds together the lightly stitched presentation of senior life. Dustin Hoffman, in his directorial debut, provides an eclectic group of characters, many of whom remind me of the various personality types who live in my downtown Phoenix, AZ senior high-rise complex for an enjoyable 90 minute reflective view of the seniors in my orbit, and life in my complex. (Grade: C+)

Randy: It seems as if 2012 was the year for movies about the youthfulness of our older generations. All of these films were charming in their own right. The British seem to value their seniors a bit more than we do, as evidenced by the numerous releases last year featuring many of the same cast members. While not nearly as moving or heartfelt as its competitors, “Quartet” is an extremely likeable little film that should put a smile on the faces of audience members of all ages. Make sure to watch the end credits! (Grade: B+)

Joseph: “Quartet” - the latest movie that appears to be rid-ing the newly formed wave of entertainment aiming to appeal exclusively to aging audi-ences - is so sweet and conflict free that it makes “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” look like an extremely complicated and complex motion picture. Granted, one does not want to upset the apple cart of view-ers who venture out of their retirement homes on field trips to the picture show too much, but the new drama from direc-tor Dustin Hoffman - yes, that Dustin Hoffman in his inaugural effort behind the camera - is in desperate need of more weight. (Grade: F)

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’The G.I. Joes are forced to contend with not only their mortal enemy Cobra but also threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence. Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum and Bruce Willis star. (PG-13 - 110 minutes)

‘The Host’Saoirse Ronan plays a girl who, when an unseen enemy threatens mankind by taking over their bodies and erasing their memories, will risk everything to protect the people she cares most about - proving that love can conquer all in a dangerous new world. (PG-13 - 125 minutes)

Full Service Media/Marketing Firm Continues to Deliver

with Intuitive, Appealing and Informative Business Solutions

Nuanced Media is a full-service new media marketing firm dedicated to creating successful marketing solutions for new companies and organizations.

It’s no secret that the internet is an invaluable asset for businesses. It means advertising, sales, and networking, and the best part is that it’s democratized. Everyone can use it to streamline their business. But is it that simple?

Take Zanes Law Personal Injury Law Firm for example. They created a website to connect to new possible clients, however in essence, it was a small island in the middle of a vast ocean. No internet user would come across Zanes Law’s website unless they were specifically looking for it, and if they got to the website there was little to show their meritsor how to contact them.

Then Nuanced Media came on the scene. Focusing in three key areas, Nuanced Media gave Zanes Law a prevalent and lucrative presence on the web. With search engine optimization, Zanes Law became a common find on Google and other search engines when a web

user searched personal injury lawyers. They facilitated contact on Zanes Law’s website putting clear contact information and a live chat option so the prospective customer could speak instantly to a representative. And by redesigning Zanes Law’s website, Nuanced Media made it intuitive, appealing, and informative, improving the overall success of their business.

Nuanced Media also offers online marketing, business consulting, and social network connectivity. With such assets at their disposal, Nuanced Media guarantees greater online connectivity for new businesses and thereby greater levels of success. For more information, please call 520-261-7764 or visit Nuanced Media online at www.nuancedmedia.com
