Boston Beer: A History of Brewing in the Hub
Since before Patriots like Paul Revere and Sam Adams fermented a revolution in
smoky Beantown taverns, beer has been integral to the history of Boston. The city
issued its first brewing license in 1630 and continued until the American Temperance Movement championed prohibition, nearly wiping out all of the local breweries. From the planning of the Boston Tea Party over a pint at Green Dragon Tavern
to the renaissance of the burgeoning craft brewing scene, join author and "Beer
Nut" Norman Miller as he savors the sudsy history of brewing in the Hub.

Finding the First Minot’s Ledge Lighthouse
Oct 9
7:00pm
The historic Minot’s Ledge Lighthouse we see today about 1 mile offshore of Cohasset/Scituate was not the first attempt to place a lighthouse in those treacherous waters. The first lighthouse lasted a little more than a year when destroyed
by a Nor’easter in April 1851. In 2007, the Massachusetts Board of Underwater
Archaeological Resources (BUAR) in collaboration with the USCG and several
other partners conducted surveys to locate and identify the remnants of the
original lighthouse. Vic Mastone, BUAR’s Director and Chief Archaeologist, will
describe these efforts which included remote sensing surveys technologies, remotely operated vehicle surveys, and diver investigation of the ledge.
