Did you know that beer was central to 18th century life? It was considered a nourishing staple of one’s diet and consumed at almost every meal. Consequently, brewing beer was an important skill and brewers were known to travel circuits to keep colonial communities supplied. In this workshop, the art of these itinerant craftsmen will be examined, as well as what ingredients, tools, and processes were necessary in transforming grain and water into this important beverage.
