Drinking in the 18th Century

Join the Loring Greenough House for a talk on Colonial drinks! Thursday, February 12, 7:00 - 8:30pm Step into the lively world of 18th century British America, where drinking was central to social life, politics, and pleasure.&nbsp;This talk explores what people drank—from ale, wine, punch, and spirits —and how these drinks shaped daily routines, class identity, and public sociability. Drawing on historical sources and material culture, the talk traces drinking spaces such as taverns, coffeehouses, and private homes. Throughout the talk, attendees will get the chance to try classic Georgian-era drinks like grog and cider! HUZZAH! This lecture and tasting is being presented by Dr Trent Taylor, a Boston-based historian of 18th century British America and the wider British world. He received his MA and PhD in American history from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and his BA in history from University of Virginia. $20/general admission; $15/members - this event is 21+ <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1981806012131">Tickets on sale now!</a> -- The Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club is a community-based educational and social organization dedicated to improving the lives of our neighbors through historical, cultural and educational activities.
