Wade House Timeless Tales Speaker Series Bottoms Up: A Toast to Wisconsin’s Historic Bars & Breweries

Bottoms Up: A Toast to Wisconsin’s Historic Bars & Breweries
Raise your glass and settle in for the show as State Historic Preservation Officer Jim Draeger, co-author of Bottoms Up: A Toast to Wisconsin’s Historic Bars & Breweries, highlights the innovative architecture and rich history of more than 70 Wisconsin breweries and bars. Along the way, Draeger will discuss the rise of brewing culture, the impact of Prohibition, and, later, the development of both mega- and micro-breweries that continue to shape our cultural landscape today. Above all, Draeger will use stories, photographs and more to paint a picture of the place bars and taverns hold in our social and cultural history, and how they serve us—both figuratively and literally—today.
After the discussion, there will be a book signing—and, of course, an opportunity to visit the historic taproom of the 1850 Wade House Stagecoach Inn to sample local craft beer.
