A series of events begun more than 5 years ago to promote the importance of history education, the American Independence Museum’s Beer for History will feature brewers from across New Hampshire. Pipe Dream Brewing (Londonderry) starts the series on September 22 followed by Sap House Meadery (Center Ossipee) on October 6, Earth Eagle Brewings (Portsmouth) on October 20, and UNH Brewing Science Laboratory (Durham) on November 3.

“We are thrilled to have such an incredible lineup this year,” noted Jennifer Carr, Acting Executive Director of the museum.

In addition to featuring unique brews, most of which are not available locally in the greater Seacoast region, Beer for History features colonial-inspired games and music. The series, sponsored by Donahue Tucker & Ciandella, takes place within Folsom Tavern (c. 1775), which once welcomed George Washington.

“Kids can play outside on our spacious lawn and enjoy the beginning of fall in beautiful and historic downtown Exeter,” added Carr.

Beer for History events takes place from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 22 at the American Independence Museum’s Folsom Tavern, 164 Water St., Exeter, NH. Tickets are $10 for members and $15 for non-members, while youth (under 21) are free.

Ticket prices include beer (21+), entertainment and light snacks. To purchase tickets, or learn more about Beer for History, visit independencemuseum.org.
