Take a journey through drunken Victorian Britain told through maps made to convince law makers to turn off the flow of alcohol. A “drink map” may sound like a pub guide, yet it refers to a type of map designed to promote sobriety by shocking and shaming people into drinking less. Did these lovely temperance tools inspire zealous anger - or did they just make people thirsty? Admire many beautiful examples while tasting beers that inspired their creation. The instructor’s book, Drink Maps in Victorian England, will be available for purchase with a discount on the day of this course. (Book not required) Instructor: Kris Butler
