The Chicago Brewseum highlights the dynamic culture and innovative history of one of the world’s most vibrant industries. By using stories of the past and tales of the present, the Chicago Brewseum takes a deeper look into one of the oldest beverages and its power to build community and its importance as an ongoing cultural force. Beer History Week is a celebration beginning with the Beer Culture Summit, continuing with daily programming from colleagues around the country. On Day 3 Brewseum is partnering with Carillon Brewing Company in Dayton, OH for a historical brew day, celebrating the role of women in brewing history.
Female staff members of Carillon Historical Park will be taking the lead to bring to life an 1831 Wind Malt Coriander Ale. Family Receipts Or Practical Guide For the Husbandman and Housewife, published in 1831, is the source they will use to recreate this recipe. They will be brewing this version of the recipe with locally produced wind-malt, coriander seed, and hops grown in their living history gardens on Nov 10 from 11:00am-7:00pm
They have teamed up with good friends at the Chicago Brewseum to bring you a very special Open House Brew Day celebrating the role of women in brewing history. The brew house will be open to the public for the day to allow guests to get a closer look at the brewing process.Draft and Cask versions of the special ale will be available for purchase!
