Pint Sized History: Understanding Beer and Its Role in Our Past
with Tim Orr
Pint Sized History: Understanding Beer and Its Role in Our Past
This class is designed to be an interactive historical course. Each class session will focus around a particular style of beer. During the hour-long session, we will both explore the history of this beer and how it emerged from a particular context, but we will also get to enjoy the beer itself. We often think of history as something that happened, but this is an opportunity to recognize, and enjoy, the very real ways that history is still with us and to acknowledge that, oftentimes, there is so much more depth and import to the mundane things in our lives.
Class fee includes four flights of beers! One flight per week that relates to that week's topic!
NOTE: You must be 21 years, or older, to attend this course.
