Inns of Wigston and Leicester and the History of Brewing Beer

Talk by Steve Marquis People around the globe have enjoyed drinking beer for at least 13,000 years. Beer needed vessels for storage and drinking, resulting in the first pottery containers. The consumption of alcohol seems to have encouraged greater social engagement, as it always has, helping to develop closer communal ties and a sense of identity. Perhaps the main force in the creation of early civilisations. Steve Marquis is Retired History teacher and writer on Local Historical events. All welcome - admission free. Tea & biscuits.
