Colonial Brewing: An Immersive History Experience

Join the Regimental Brewmeister for a unique opportunity to experience the art and craft of 18th century brewing. This class will malt the grain, brew the mash over the fire in true 18th century fashion and each participant will take home a growler of the result and necessary equipment to finish the fermenting process at home! Learn about beer’s place at the early American table and what really happened in colonial taverns. Enjoy a guided tour and cannon demonstration between the stages of this process. Wear work clothes and bring leather gloves. BYO lunch and enjoy samples of historic beer and ale.  This workshop takes place in the Casemates by the fire, so while the fire is warm the room will still be chilly. Dress accordingly. Masks required. Attendance strictly limited to assure social distancing and a meaningful experience. Should pandemic restrictions require rescheduling, March 20 is the alternate date. Adults (21+) only.
