The Beer Culture Center was founded by Liz Garabay, a long-time museum professional.  When she sketched  it out in 2013 she wanted it to be a place that would look at history and society through the lens of drinking. The idea came to life and has now presented hundreds exhibits and events around the country. It’s important and necessary work, one everyone in the industry should be supporting.  The center also hosts the annual Beer Culture Summit, a multi-day, multi-disciplinary experience that tells the story of beer, its people, its history, and its importance.  As the center expands, it recently announced its first Beer History Studies Fellow, Onteya Zachary. She will share insight into her research and more.
