History center to host presentation on Moon Beers

Last Call for Brew Week in Athens is July 20, the 55th anniversary of the Landing on the Moon.

The Southeast Ohio History Center will host Schmidt's Sausage Truck from Schmidt's Sausage Haus in German Village between noon and 7 p.m. July 20.

Tom O'Grady, from the History Center and the Ohio University Department of Physics and Astronomy, will present a program on Moon Beers at 2 p.m. July 20. Since the landing on the moon in 1969 and the rise of craft brewing and micro brewing in America, there have been untold concoctions of the suds named after Earth's moon and many of the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and the other planets of the solar system. Step in put of the heat and learn a bit about the drafts brewed and named in honor of the many smaller worlds that share our small region of the universe.
