Come learn about the rich and tasty legacy of Michigan beer in this virtual lecture by author Patti F. Smith. She’ll highlight the history of our state’s brewers, from the pioneers through Prohibition and post-WWII.

Learn how immigrants brought distinctive beer styles from their home countries, as well as about early Detroit brewers, brewing consolidation after the war, and how the industry continues to evolve.

The lecture is part of the ongoing History Hounds series, presented by the Historical Society of Michigan.
