EXETER — The American Independence Museum (AIM) will host their final Beer for History of 2024, featuring beer brewed by UNH Brewing Science Laboratory, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21.
“We are excited to welcome UNH Brewing Science Laboratory back this year,” said Interim Executive Director Jennifer Carr. “Their beers are fantastic and always creative.”
At the event, presented by Donahue, Tucker & Ciandella, the Brewing Science Laboratory will offer three beers brewed by students at the University’s main campus in Durham.
These beers include Pour-over Porter (dark, rich beer with coffee-forward flavors); Fluke Vienna Lager (copper-colored, slightly sweet, slightly hoppy, crisp lager); and Special Harvest Thyme Brown Ale (made with thyme from the UNH high tunnels, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes from Woodman Farm, hops from the organic garden club, and bread from the dining hall).
“Brewing Science Laboratory always comes with unique beers, so this is a chance to try brews you won’t find anywhere else,” added Carr.
The event also features an educational element with a theme, Abenaki Autumn Traditions and Thanksgiving Myths, presented by Paul and Denise Pouliot of the Cowasuck Band of the Pennacook-Abenaki People.
“Paul and Denise will lead a fascinating program that provides insights into the indigenous traditions honored at this time of year,” said Carr.
“There are many myths surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday. We are thrilled to have Paul and Denise share an indigenous perspective with us.”
In addition to craft beer and special programming, Beer for History features pizza donated by Otto Exeter, trivia at 6:30 p.m., and sea shanty sing-alongs at 7 p.m. The event features both indoor/outdoor seating and a fire pit (weather permitting).
Priced at $20 for AIM members and $25 for non-members, Beer for History tickets include beer and pizza. Tickets for guests ages 13-20 are free.
