Host: Michael Carver, the Regimental Brewmeister

Outside of the church, the tavern was the most important institution in most towns. Taverns were used as meeting places for political assemblies and business; places to share news, swap stories, and spread ideas; the site of travel crossroads and community-building. Strangers and neighbours alike came together in these common spaces. It was in the colonial tavern that the revolutionary spirit launched our nation. Without taverns, it is likely that the various colonies would have remained separate and subject to the greater British Empire. 

During this evening program, patrons are invited to a night of storytelling and merriment, during which they can enjoy an 18th Century tavern experience complete with period beer and cocktails, competitive toasts, various entertainments such as parlor games and tavern songs, and maybe even a rousing political debate that would have been commonplace in the late 18th century. 

Patrons will enjoy a groaning board and sweet treats along with the many beverages that will be available for purchase.

Note: All attendees must be 21+. Proof of age will be required. Drink tokens may be purchased onsite. Non-alcoholic beverages and food are included in the price of the event.
