Join us on November 12th, as Dr. Jennifer Jordan presents: 1000 years of Hops and Beer

Come one and all once again as we snuggle in the back room of the Sugar Maple on November 12th for the return of UWM's very own Dr. Jennifer Jordan, professor of sociology and urban studies, presents a talk on the history of a little green flower many of us, at least indirectly, know and love: Hops!!


How much do you know about the little flower used in the brewing of beer? Jennifer Jordan will present her ongoing research on 1000 years of the history of hops, including the brief period when Wisconsin hops reigned supreme. Learn how changing tastes for bitterness also changed plants, landscapes, and labor practices across centuries and across continents.

Tell your family!! Tell your friends!! Come to the Sugar Maple to have some delicious beer and learn a bit of history for that delightful beverage. Hope to see you there!!
