Abstract
American Beer: Community, Tradition and Culture is an exhibition about people, constructed with two eras in mind, the pre-craft beer era (approximately 1800-1980) and the craft beer to present era (approximately 1980-2017). This exhibition is designed with three distinct sections to illustrate beer culture : brewing education, taste, and marketing. In addition to examining these three sections, underlying research will explore professional and hobbyist beer-related communities, tradition and culture in both a historical and modern sense and how that is connected to cultural sustainability . This project is specifically rooted in cultural sustainability with the tenets of identifying and nurturing traditions of knowledge and practice that are meaningful and valued by the communities. Ultimately, this exhibition will instill awareness and help visitors to better understand beer culture and the history of the American brewing tradition as well as how it correlates to the vibrant brewing and the beer industry in the 21st century.
