Pint Sized History: Understanding Beer and Its Role in Our Past

This course will consist of a flight of beers and an historical lecture regarding the significant events around the origination of the particular style of beer for that week. Rather than looking just at the history of beer, this class connects beer to history more broadly and gives you a taste of the past at the same time. Styles of beer and historical events include:

Kolsch and the Holy Roman Empire 

Wheat Beer and Bohemia 

Porters and Russia 

Scotch Ale and Scotland 

Class fee includes four flights of beers! One flight per week that relates to that week's topic!
