About
Join Us for Beer for History: Pirates and Maritime Culture!
Maritime culture is a vital part of New England’s heritage, but where there’s legal trade, illegal activities often follow. Dive into this fascinating world with The Real Pirates Museum at our upcoming Beer for History event, featuring special programming on the legendary Whydah—the only fully authenticated Golden Age pirate ship ever discovered, found off the coast of Cape Cod.
We’re also thrilled to welcome Czar's Brewery, which will showcase many of its most popular brews, alongside live music and complimentary food from OTTO Exeter.
What they will bring: Thunderstruck NE IPA A Hazy, Juicy, Citrusy IPA with a smooth, full mouthfeel
Belgian Tripel A strong golden ale with a slight spiciness balanced against a full maltiness which is cleansed away by a dry finish leaving you thirsting for more.
Better Take Cover Pilsner A pale, dry, lager showcasing citrusy & fruity New Zealand-type hops balanced against a bready malt base. This one is very drinkable and refreshing.
This event is presented by Donahue Tucker & Ciandella and features both indoor and outdoor seating. Ages 13 to 20 are free, and tickets are available at the door. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore maritime history and enjoy a great evening!
