We invite you to the second Tavern Talk hosted by the Somerville Museum at Aeronaut Brewing . Enjoy a free Aeronaut drink with your ticket!
During World War One, the U.S. government did everything it could to discourage beer drinking among the Doughboys. A generation later, Washington shifted course entirely, going out of its way to make beer accessible to soldiers and sailors on all the fighting fronts of WWII. The consequences would shape American drinking habits down to the present day. In this special presentation by Dan Breen , PhD , we will follow the course of American beers from the Solomons to Bastogne, as the Greatest Generation marched towards victory with Lagers in hand.
Tickets include one drink from Aeronaut Brewing!
Aeronaut Brewing is ADA accessible. Persons with disabilities who need auxiliary aids or reasonable modifications should please contact Adrienne Pomeroy in advance at 617-625-6600 x 2059 or [email protected].
