Beer Culture Summit Opening Night: A Celebration of Life + Death

Date – October 16 Location — Revolution Brewing — Tap Room  /  Chicago, IL
Time – 6:30pm - 9pm

Oct

16

Various cultures around the world have had different perspectives on the life cycle. Life and death were both considered to be moments of celebration, often connected to the production and consumption of specific kinds of beer and alcohol. Tonight we hear from three scholars who offer a look into these traditions while also celebrating this year’s Revolution Brewing’s Deth’s Tar, a bourbon barrel-aged beer with notes of dark chocolate, toasted coconut, and vanilla. Guests attending this event will get access to Deth’s Tar prior to the official release to the public on October 18th. Attendees will also get an extra special treat with tastings of Deth Mounds.

Historian Lars Marius Garshol will share insight into the way beer was tied to the customs of life, death, and the afterlife in Scandinavia and Viking culture. Cesareo Moreno, Chief Curator of the National Museum of Mexican Art delves into the historic and annual traditions of Day of the Dead and their connections to agave based fermented beverages. Dr. Christina Wade will take you on a brief tour through a thousand years of Irish funeral ales and feasts, exploring the importance of these Celtic traditions not only for the dead, but also for those left behind.

$45 ticket
includes beer throughout the evening including special tastings of Deth’s Tar and Deth Mounds. Food will be available for purchase on-site. This event is 21+.
