Did you know Wisconsin has 70% less taverns than it did in the 1970s? Join Jim Draeger, co-author of Wisconsin Historical Society Press book, “Bottoms Up: A Toast to Wisconsin’s Historic Bars & Breweries” as he explains how the landscape of taverns have changed throughout the years.

Each Tuesday leading up to opening day of the new brewing experience at Old World Wisconsin, we’ll be sharing engaging content on Facebook – including interviews with historians, bar and tavern memorabilia from our collections, historic images of taverns, and the stories behind some of Wisconsin’s favorite brews and cocktails. #OWWNewArrivals
