Event Details

Discover a time when taverns were more numerous than churches, and the price of beer was a penny a pot (pint). The Historical Society of Pennsylvania invites you to a special Beer Week event with brewery historian Rich Wagner, who will give a talk about early Philadelphia taverns and the drinks they served. It was at these "public houses" where our founding fathers gathered to eat, drink, and haggle over the details of the Declaration of Independence. Join us for a beer tasting from Yards Brewing Company's "Ales of the Revolution" and celebrate our forefathers' penchant for the tasty brown liquid.
