A Taste of Ontario’s Past
Beer. During the mid-nineteenth century it had great importance in people’s daily lives. Before prohibition, almost every town in Ontario had its own brewery, each with its own unique blend and taste. Today, very few of these micro breweries remain.
The Chatham-Kent Museum will be featuring Brian Lindsay of the Dundurn Castle Brewery at its first lecture of the fall season. Brian Lindsay works at the National Historic Site were he has been able to hone craft and has produced many traditional ales, lagers and fruit beers which have been well received. On Monday, September 14, he will discuss the history of beer and brewing in Ontario and its’ importance in daily lives with an emphasis on the mid-nineteenth century. During the beer tasting he will highlight locally produced beers from Ontario. Apricot Wheat Ale, Coffee Porter, and Cream Ale are some of the eight types of beer that will be sampled.
