This Friday in Seattle, the Pike Place Market hosts a very special event that delves into the history and the future of craft brewing in Seattle. The American Brewing History Initiative of the Smithsonian’s Nation Museum of American History will lead the discussion. The event also involves beer and food. Here are complete details from the event organizers.
On December 8, the American Brewing History Initiative of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History comes to Pike Place Market to lead a discussion about Seattle’s brewing history. Our conversation will explore the stories and history of craft brewing in the city with a farm-to-glass approach, featuring a multi-generational panel from perspectives of craft brewing, home brewing, and agriculture. How do contemporary brewers and growers incorporate a sense of history into their work? In their view, what distinguishes the brewing culture of the Pacific Northwest? What does it mean to be an artisan, or craft, producer today, and in the future? Come listen, contribute, taste, and enjoy.
Over the course of more than a century, Seattle brewers and their customers have created one of the nation’s singular brewing cultures. A rich blend of resources shaped this story: the fragrant hops that grow in the surrounding region; a sense of identity rooted in geography and cuisine; and a brewing community that flourished via dedication to ideals of creativity and professional mentorship. As a result, Seattle changed the course of American brewing history while simultaneously writing its own story.
