ADULT Ancient Alcohol After Hours: Tour and Beer Tasting

by Penn Museum

Drinking together has been a tradition for thousands of years, and we
have found a way to keep that tradition alive! Grab your favorite
beverage, log on, and let us be your designated driver as you virtually
explore how our ancestors partied like it was 5000 BCE. Participants
will follow along as we check out one of the most popular ancient Greek
drinking games (you should definitely try this at home), zoom in on one
of the world’s oldest wine jars, learn about a Mesopotamian queen who
drank her beer out of a straw, and learn all about the science that went
into recreating the beverage served at the funerary feast hosted by
King Midas. All the while you will be encouraged to participate in fun
and interactive games that test your knowledge and invite you to share
some of your most memorable drinking stories. Presented in partnership
with Philly Loves Beer, this tour and beer tasting will be led by a mix
of both history and beer experts.
