Frank Clark, Director of Historic Foodways at Colonial Williamsburg leads us on a virtual tour of some of the historic sites related to beer making and drinking during 18th century Colonial America. We’ll meet with a tavern keep, a cooper, and brewer who will help us better understand what (beer) life was like for people working in the various trades. This session is followed by a live Q&A.
