Storied Saloons: Local History Happy Hour at Rising Storm Brewing Co.

If the walls of your local watering hole could talk, what would they say?

Rochester is no stranger to time-tested taverns and contemporary bars housed in historic buildings. Each of these edifices has a story to tell. What better time to hear them than during happy hour?

Storied Saloons: Local History Happy Hours explores the history of some of Rochester’s most interesting and iconic bar-boasting buildings. If you enjoy learning and libations, pull up a stool and join us as we uncover the past of a different tavern during each session of this exciting off-site series.

November Session: Rising Storm Brewing Co.

The expansive barn located at 1880 Blossom Road has a long, rich history. Join Penfield historian Kathy Kanauer and Rising Storm Brewing's co-owner Bill Blake as they recount the building's industrial past and how it was reenvisioned and readapted by the team at Rising Storm, bringing the historic structure back to life for a brand-new chapter.

Presented by the Office of Rochester & Monroe County History in partnership with the Local History & Genealogy Division of the Rochester Public Library.

Pre-registration is requested.
