Charter Books, in collaboration with the Newport Historical Society, welcomes historian Brooke Barbier, author of COCKED AND BOOZY, for a lively talk about the influence of tavern and drinking culture on the American Revolution. You’ll hear about the way alcohol influenced colonial resistance, soldiers on both sides of the war, and the creation of a new nation. You’ll see famous founders and lesser-known Patriots drink their way from British subjects into Americans.

All are welcome to join. RSVP using the link on site, admission is $15 – $20 per person. (Student Discounts now available $10 with valid student ID).
