We've been brewing from Prehistory through to Prohibition, so let's talk. Manchester - August 5th & 6th 2024
Yeah, WE'RE BACK!
We couldn't pass up the opportunity to put this event on!
We'll be contacting those who have bought tickets to arrange full refunds for them.
This isn't the last from us though, we're going to go away and see what we can do to put this event on in the future.
Whilst we were ourselves happy to go ahead and take the risk, we weren't comfortable with the risk that would be involved to those who bought tickets to attend and had booked their travel and accommodation.
We're really sorry that we've had to do this, but we don't want anyone to be out of pocket.
We're really sorry to say that we've taken the decision to cancel the Historic Brew Con.
Unfortunately, despite the amazing interest and support we received we weren't able to sell enough tickets to make us comfortable to go ahead.
We've been asked by several people about having one day tickets to the conference, so here they are!
www.historicbrewcon.com/tickets
If you wish to come for just the one day, tickets are priced at £40 per day.
Do you think a conference on historical brewing sounds cool? Are you interested in going? If so, you’ll probably have to buy tickets soon, to make sure there actually is a conference. www.historicbrewcon.com @historicbrewcon.bsky.social

It's Friday and we all deserve a treat, so how about this speaker we've lined up!
Make sure to get your tickets here: sites.google.com/view/histori...
The international expositions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries celebrated the agricultural and industrial might of nations. Visitors anticipated seeing the newest marvels of the age, but also needed refreshment. The brewing industry satisfied both desires by creating lavish displays touting their technical prowess and by providing beer for thirsty patrons at elaborate restaurants and beer stands. Industry groups scheduled conferences to coincide with the expositions, but the breweries were generally more interested in awards and markets than science and technology, which was transferred more effectively by other means. Breweries outside of Europe used accolades earned at competitions to prove their quality was every bit as good as breweries of the Old World. This presentation will focus on the marketing of beer and brewing technology at World’s Fairs and how experiences at the expositions were used to market beer in America.
Brewing history isn't just a UK or European thing by any means, and this excellent talk from Douglas Hoverson lifts the lid on early American marketing!

Andrew Davison works for Historic England. He is co-author (with the late Geoff Brandwood and Michael Slaughter) of ‘Licensed to sell: the history and heritage of the public house”, published by English Heritage in 2004, with a revised edition in 2011. It was whilst researching for that book that he first became aware of the influence the Temperance movement (the anti-alcohol campaign of the later C19 and early C20) had upon public house design in this country. He has also published papers on the Temperance movement’s own buildings. He lives in West Yorkshire.
The last of our "main" speakers is now confirmed!
Andrew Davison of Historic England and CAMRA fame will be giving an incredibly interesting talk that we can't tell you about just yet!
