Join historian Brooke Barbier for a lively talk about the influence of tavern and drinking culture on the American Revolution. Eighteenth-century Americans consumed a staggering amount of alcohol compared to us today. Drink influenced their politics, built and sustained their relationships, and drove the economy. Booze was not a small part of colonial society, nor covertly consumed in private spaces—it was integral to American life. When the colonists rebelled against the British Empire, this culture of drink and taverns helped foster revolution.
Copies of Barbier's book will be available for purchase and signing, and samples of First Shot Rum will be served!
