Join Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center for the season finale of the museum’s popular virtual series, Tavern Tastings on Tuesday, April 6 at 6:30 p.m. This month, KTM&HC is continuing its collaboration with Fraunces Tavern Museum to present an episode all about beer, in honor of National Beer Day.
Catherine Prescott, KTM&HC chief curator, and Mary Tsaltas-Ottomanelli, FTM education and public programs coordinator, will highlight beer, a perennially popular tavern drink and one of the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic beverages in the world. Learn how beer played an important role in colonial history and culture and get a recipe to make your own flip: an ale, rum, and egg beverage popular in eighteenth-century taverns and homes.

The portraits are of Anna and Abijah Resseguie and Betsy and Thaddeus Keeler. During the Zoom program, Prescott and Askin will discuss the subjects of the portraits as well as the history of the paintings, including the recently acquired portrait of Betsy Perry Keeler.
