Sip into the past: Von Trapp Brewing returns to Beer for History at Independence Museum

EXETER — Von Trapp Brewing returns to the American Independence Museum to kick off its 2024 season at a special spring Beer for History on Thursday, May 2.

The event features music, trivia, or colonial tavern games, with seating available inside and outside the historic Folsom Tavern (c. 1775). Beer for History events are family-friendly and help raise funds to support American Independence Museum.

“It’s a chance to gather with friends in a festive atmosphere in a tavern that once welcomed George Washington,” said Sarah Jaworski, program manager for the museum. “Beer for History events also support our preservation and education initiatives, so it’s also a great way to support a local nonprofit with a big mission.”

Beer for History with von Trapp Brewing takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 2, at the American Independence Museum’s Folsom Tavern, 164 Water St., Exeter. It is presented by Donahue Tucker & Ciandella.

Tickets for Beer for History events are $18 and $16 for members, while those under 21 are free. Ticket prices include beer (21 plus) and light snacks.
