About this listen

Taverns in the 18th century were more than watering holes: they were centers of cultural, political and social influence, gathering places for communities and conduits through which news was conveyed by traders and travelers from far away. We talk with Professor Malcolm Purinton, author of Globalization in a Glass: The Rise of Pilsner Beer through Technology, Taste, and Empire, about the role of taverns in the American Revolution, as well as about what people were drinking in the 18th-century.
