Happy National Beer Day!

Just how much has beer changed in 200-plus years?

What’s a “saccharometer?”
What does Vlad the Impaler have to do with colonial beer?

Watch our vodcast to learn the answers to those questions and see how Colonial Williamsburg uses 18th century recipes and brewing techniques.

And when you visit, don’t forget to visit recently renovated Chowning’s Tavern for that genuine alehouse experience.

There you can delight in Old Stitch, Dear Old Mum and the exclusive Wetherburn’s Tavern Bristol. The 18th century recipe beers were developed in partnership with Williamsburg’s Alewerks Brewing Company.
