Isabelle is a divorced Parisian painter searching for another shot at love, but refusing to settle for the parade of all-too-flawed men who drift in and out of her life. There's a caddish banker who, like many of her lovers, happens to be married; a handsome actor who's working through his own hang-ups; and a sensitive fellow artist who's skittish about commitment. What reads like a standard romantic comedy premise is transformed into something altogether deeper, more poignant, and perceptive about the profound mysteries of love. Watch the trailer.

Yes, Fieldwork Brewing Company is finally selling logo hats! The "Luke" is now available at all of our taprooms while supplies last! This is a semi-structured hat designed to be worn forwards or backwards, indoors or outdoors. Semi-structured means it has a crown that's lower than a traditional high crown cap and is lightly supported. This makes The Luke easy to fold up and throw in your daypack and not get deformed or mangled like a stiff-crowned hat.

Made of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, this hat is lightweight and breathable and ages uniformly to create a nice, worn in, weathered look. With an adjustable snapback, this hat can fit heads ranging from small to planetoidal. Stop by our beer garden at 560 Munras Avenue to try our great brews and purchase one of these beauties.

Inspired by traditional recipes, our ramen bowls are the unique creations of Sam, our master chef with over 30 years of experience cooking Japanese cuisine.
