Drunk in Time: Public talk with occasional shouting

28 Oct 2009

On Friday 30 October at The Lass O'Gowrie

This Friday evening, join us at the Lass O'Gowrie pub for a light-headed stagger through the science of alcohol since 1600, as Isaac Newton, Humphry Davy and others ponder the great questions: Is wine alcoholic? Does rotting fish belong in beer? And what's more harmful – microbial infection, or thunder? This event may include an element of time travel.

Presented by Dr James Sumner of the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, The University of Manchester, as part of Manchester Science Festival.

The Lass O'Gowrie, Charles Street, 6pm-7pm, Friday 30 October. All welcome: no booking required. This event is free, but please buy a drink (alcoholic or otherwise).
