This might surprise anyone who remembers World War I, when the U.S. government worked hard to discourage beer consumption. Yet after Pearl Harbor, the American beer industry entered a golden age—just as millions of Americans were leaving home to serve overseas.How did wartime conditions transform beer from a target of temperance campaigns into a staple of military life? And why did so many Americans get their first taste of beer not in their hometown bars, but in distant places like Ulithi, Luzon, and New Georgia?In this engaging lecture, Professor Dan Breen uncovers the strange, often spectacular story of beer’s unexpected role in the fight against the Axis, blending military, cultural, and social history.Dan Breen is a Professor of the Practice of Legal Studies at Brandeis University, with a Ph.D. in History from Boston College. He is currently completing a book on the public monuments of Boston.Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌Agenda6:30 PM – Doors open: find a seat (open seating!), order food & drinks, and expect a bar line—arriving early is key.6:55 PM – Host introduction7:00 PM – Lecture begins7:45 PM – Audience Q&A8:00 PM – Have 1:1 time with the speaker, mingle with fellow guests, and order another round8:30 PM – Wrap up. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/lectures-on-tap-the-strange-and-spectacular-story-of-beer-in-world-war-ii/100001984822710156 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Cambridge - **lat**: 42.36475590000001 - **long**: -71.1032591 - **full address**: Cambridge, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lectures on Tap - The Strange & Spectacular Story of Beer in World War II - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/01dfcae5b1cd6e0140635612e024c6b9f04a3d913d4d1a9898abdcf8f9f2659a-rimg-w1200-h600-dce0e1da-gmir.jpg?v=1774854384 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Lectures on Tap - The Strange & Spectacular Story of Beer in World War II being held? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - The Strange & Spectacular Story of Beer in World War II takes place on Wed, 08 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 08 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Cambridge, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Lectures on Tap - The Strange & Spectacular Story of Beer in World War II? - **A:** Tickets for Lectures on Tap - The Strange & Spectacular Story of Beer in World War II are priced at USD 39 per person.
