Celebrate the Nation’s 250th Birthday with Beer! The Dorchester Historical Society and Dorchester Brewing Company invite you to:
Cocked and Boozy: An Intoxicating History of the American Revolution
with author Brooke Barbier
7:00PM (event space doors open at 6:30pm)
Enjoy DBCo’s specially created “1776” ale, or other beverages, as author Brooke Barbier gives a lively talk on the influence of tavern and drinking culture on the American Revolution. Drink influenced politics, built and sustained relationships, and drove the economy. Booze was not a small part of colonial society nor covertly consumed in private spaces; it was integral to American life. When the colonists rebelled against Britain, this culture helped foster revolution.
Brooke Barbier is a public historian, founder of Ye Olde Tavern Tours in Boston, and author of several books about the American Revolution.
