• On Saturday, Oct. 24, at 2 p.m., English food historian Marc Meltonville will log on remotely from the UK to present "Brewing at Newlin: An English Ale in an American Kitchen." He will be discussing an experimental project that has been running over the last few years to brew household beer in the kitchen at Newlin Grist Mill. Find out how they made the beer happen, the process of putting together the 18th-century equipment, and a little bit of beer history thrown in.
