On Thursday, October 10 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at historic Folsom Tavern (1775), the American Independence Museum (AIM) will host its first fall Beer for History with Sawbelly Brewing.
Sponsored by Donahue, Tucker & Ciandella, the event features indoor and outdoor seating, live music, and pizza donated by Exeter Bowling Lanes & Shooters Sports Pub. The event will also feature the exhibit, Arming the Revolution, which provides insight into colonial guns and ammunition.
“We are so excited to bring back Beer for History this year,” said Interim Executive Director Jennifer Carr. “It’s such a fun event that welcomes the community to a space that has been used to bring people together for nearly 250 years.”
Sawbelly Brewing will offer three draft beers: Broken Luck Kolsch, New England IPA Volcano Bomb, and a Double Hazy IPA, Ring of Haze, the latter of which is triple dry hopped with Galaxy, Simcoe, and Citra. The Exeter-based brewery will also provide an assortment of cans.
“We are thrilled to welcome Sawbelly Brewing to Beer for History,” added Carr. “Their selection will certainly complement the event.”
Tickets for Beer for History are $20 for AIM members and $25 for non-members. Tickets for guests ages 13-20 are free. Those under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult. Beer for History with Sawbelly Brewing will take place at AIM’s Folsom Tavern on Thursday, October 10 at 164 Water St., Exeter, NH.
