99 Bottles of Beer: Global Brewing Traditions 2500 B.C. – Present

OCTOBER 10, 2009  12:00 – 6:00 pm


 

Welcome to the third annual event in our series exploring the anthropology of food.  99 Bottles of Beer includes a moderated discussion on beer and brewing led by distinguished professors and renowned beer experts.  Topics include the history of beer and its rituals, the process of beer brewing, and the traditions of beer consumption.  A beer tasting fair will be ongoing throughout the day.

The event accompanies the new exhibition on view in the museum gallery.  Curated by Dr. Ira Jacknis, the Museum’s Research Anthropologist, the exhibition presents 130 beer-related objects from many eras and broad geography, in a breadth of media.  This rich display reveals the striking unities and diversities of human cultures as they come together to celebrate the fruit of the grain.
