On Tap Talks: Exploring Colorado History with Beer

Step
into our exhibit Beer Here! by attending this On-Tap Talk with author
and Colorado Book Award finalist Ed Sealover. Ed Sealover’s 2016 “Colorado Excursions with History, Hikes and Hops,”
guided visitors on a 30-day tour of the Centennial State, stopping
daily at one historical site, one natural site and one drinking site. In
this presentation, Sealover explains how today’s traveler can dive into
the state’s history at both familiar and off-the-beaten-path locations
while also drinking in the state’s brewing culture. Bring a notepad and a
thirst — your road trip awaits you.
