Beer history nerds united! Whether you’re currently engaged in beer history work and research, or if you’re just interested in learning more, gather with us for an informal meet up of beer historians, archivists and researchers. We’ll meet one another and have a chat over some beers while Tiah Edmunson-Morton, Curator of the Oregon Hop Archives and Dr. Jennifer Jordan of the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee facilitate an informal conversation.

Got the Beer Culture Summit Beer Box? This event pairs nicely with Seipp’s Extra Pale, Sketchbook’s Nova Reperta, or Temperance Brewing’s All The World Is Here.

Tiah Edmunson-Morton started the Oregon Hops and Brewing Archives at Oregon State University's Library in 2013, the first of its kind in the country. As part of that work, she collects materials that document the history of all things beer in the Northwest. When she engaged in beer history, she teaches about library and archival research and manages the Special Collections and Archives Research Center's exhibits and internship programs. She has an MLIS from San José State University, MA in English Literature from Miami University, and is a Certified Archivist.

Jennifer A. Jordan is Professor of Sociology and Urban Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and is the Chair of the Department of Sociology. She is the author of Structures of Memory: Understanding Urban Change in Berlin and Beyond (Stanford, 2006) and Edible Memory: The Lure of Heirloom Tomatoes and Other Forgotten Foods (Chicago, 2015), and is completing a new book, Before Craft Beer: Lost Landscapes of Forgotten Hops (Chicago). She has been a Fulbright scholar and a fellow at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, among many other fellowships, and teaches on social theory, culture, cities, and beer.
