Morgan Log House invites the public to register for an 18th Century Brewing Workshop set for May 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The event, featuring Regimental Brewmeister Michael Carver, is $75 per person and includes all supplies.
Register here for the event.
Mark your calendars and join us for this interactive workshop that transports you back to the 1700s. During this workshop, you will learn:
- The general process of making beer in 1770 and how to make good beer with no instrumentation, just using your basic senses.
- The vital role the tavern had in daily life and ultimately in fomenting rebellion in Colonial America.
- Why beer was so critical to everyday life in the 18th Century. Everyone (even children) drank beer and it was ORDERED to be issued to soldiers.
- How beer shaped our local pre-revolutionary Pennsylvania economy, from the settlement at Plymouth to the expulsion of Blackbeard to the Whiskey Rebellion.
- How most people made three batches of beer (parti-gyyle, hoffbrau, and small beer) from the same set of ingredients to save money.
