The American Revolution Wasn’t Fueled by Water! Rum, Cider, and the Punch of Independence
Thursday, July 23rd @ 6:30 pm in the Community Room

The bottle says it all: “Samuel Adams, Brewer * Patriot.” And though “Sam the Maltster” wasn’t particularly business savvy, his attention to the Sons of Liberty and American independence went far beyond his fleeting attempts at brewing. Fortunately, there were plenty of other opportunities to quaff the large quantities of alcoholic beverages that fueled the fire of revolution. Join Dr. Matt Warshauer, professor of history at Central CT State University, for an intriguing exploration of how the American Revolution was plotted in taverns.

Matthew Warshauer is a professor of history at Central Connecticut State University, where he has studied and written extensively on what he calls “the American paradox,” the conflicting ideological beliefs and practices of the United States. Learn more here.
