Moosilauke Public Library receives New Hampshire Humanities Grant

The Moosilauke Public Library has received a grant from New Hampshire Humanities to present Brewing in New Hampshire: An Informal History of Beer in the Granite State from Colonial Times to the Present.

Brewing in New Hampshire: An Informal History of Beer in the Granite State from Colonial Times to the Present will be presented on Thursday, April 11, 2024 at 6:00PM at the Woodstock Inn Brewery, 135 Main Street, North Woodstock NH.

Glenn Knoblock explores the fascinating history of New Hampshire's beer and ale brewing industry from Colonial days, when it was home- and tavern-based, to today's modern breweries and brew pubs. Unusual and rare photos and advertisements document this changing industry and the state's earliest brewers, including the renowned Frank Jones. A number of lesser-known brewers and breweries that operated in the state are also discussed, including the only brewery owned and operated by a woman before the modern era. Illustrations present evidence of society's changing attitudes towards beer and alcohol consumption over the years. Whether you're a beer connoisseur or a "tea-totaler," this lecture will be enjoyed by adults of all ages.

This program will be followed by a brewery tour and is free and open to the public.
