Andrew and Dave will be giving a talk about how this project came to be and the science behind archaeological brewing.
Admission to the talk is free and will take place Wednesday, October 16 from 6-8pm at MobCraft Beer – 505 S 5th Street, Milwaukee, WI. There will be plenty of Gier Bier to go around and a few prizes to be raffled off throughout the night!
