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!
About Aeronaut
Brewed with curiosity and backed by science. We’ve always pushed the boundaries when it comes to brewing. From propagating our own in-house yeast, to partnering with local businesses to source unique ingredients, experimentation is at our core. Alongside our commitment to creative brewing, we’ve always prioritized community.
Since our inception, we’ve partnered with and featured countless local artists on our beer labels, welcomed resident musicians into our taprooms and worked with so many incredible local entrepreneurs and organizations. We pride ourselves on forging strong connections and being involved in our neighborhood. As we continue to grow and find ourselves reaching other communities in the Boston area and beyond, we carry with us a deep dedication to place and belonging.
