SMETHPORT — The Master Watershed Steward Program, in partnership with Straub Brewery Inc., is holding “Tap Talks: Bavarians, Beers, and Booms,” in St. Marys next month.
This is an extension of the larger Tap Talks series hosted by the Penn State Extension’s Master Watershed Steward Program.
It will be an evening filled with talk about water, brewing, and local history. The speakers will cover the importance of fresh, mountain spring water to the brewery; a bit about the brewery’s history as it nears its 150th birthday; and a look at the list of breweries that came in and out of our city. Also up for discussion will be why the little waterways of St. Marys were and are important to not just the brewery, but the survival of the city and the growth of industry. Hors d’oeuvres and samples will be available.
The Tap Talk will take place from 7 to 8 p.m. Sept. 9 outside of the Straub Brewery’s Tap Room and Visitor’s Center, or adjusted should the weather be uncooperative. Dress for the temperature.
This program is free, but attendees must be 21 years of age or older to register.
