Beer and brewing have been an important part of Boston history from before the American Revolution through to today’s Craft Beer Revolution. We’ll follow the colonial beginning of a local brewing industry through the stylistic changes of the nineteenth century from ale to lager beer production and into the end of the twentieth century when Samuel Adams Brewing and Harpoon led the way into the era of Craft Beer.


Professor Malcolm F. Purinton is an Assistant Teaching Professor at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, where he teaches World and Food History as well as the histories of Technology, Capitalism and Business, and Imperialism, and Colonialism. His upcoming monograph, Globalization in a Glass: The Rise of Pilsner Beer through Technology, Taste and Empire, will be released in June 2023 by Bloomsbury (Academic) Press as part of its Food History Series. Malcolm is also a longtime homebrewer and beer journalist for the Northeast beer periodical, Yankee Brew News, as a feature writer and its Boston columnist.


This program is presented by the Boston Public Library as part of their Never Too Late Group created with older adults in mind. Due to the ample seating available in the Rabb Lecture Hall, registration is not required; instead, seating is first come, first served.
