This past Sunday, guests drank local beer and listened to “Vitamin B for Victory: How Beer Helped Win WWII.” The sold out second “Tavern Talk,” facilitated by the Somerville Museum at Aeronaut, was presented by Professor Dan Breen (Brandeis University), who discussed how the U.S. government switched from its prohibition-guided discouragement of alcohol during WWI to the purchasing for example, of 3.2 beer for soldiers and sailors on all the fronts of WWII. Aeronaut and Museum representatives suggest this may become a regular event in 2025. Visit https://www.somervillemuseum.org/calendar-events for events.
