Hops & History Speaker Series

Hops & History 2025 Line Up

This series is on a summer break, with presentations beginning again in September. Please check back then for details on the fall line up. 


Toast local history and craft beer in our Hops & History Speaker Series, brought to you by the Milton House Museum and GoodWorks Brewing Company. 


This unique series, held monthly, pairs engaging historical discussions with locally brewed beer for an unforgettable evening of learning, conversation, and community.


Each event features a different historical topic, presented by expert speakers, followed by a Q&A session where you can enjoy a cold GoodWorks brew while diving deeper into the stories and events that shaped our past. 


Whether you're a history buff or simply looking for a fun way to learn more about the area's rich heritage, this series offers something for everyone.

September Hops and History

Louisa Answers the Call

Before she became a literary icon, Louisa May Alcott left her home in Concord, Massachusetts to serve as a Civil War nurse—a chapter of her life that profoundly shaped both her writing and her worldview.


Join us for an evening of history and storytelling as Jill Fuller, founder and co-host of the Let Genius Burn podcast, shares the powerful and often overlooked story of Louisa’s time on the front lines of war.


Enjoy a local brew in the taproom of Goodworks Brewing Company as we explore how this experience became a defining force in Alcott’s life and legacy.


📅 Wednesday, September 17th
🕕 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

📍 Goodworks Brewing Company Taproom, Milton, WI
🎟️ $8 in advance | $10 at the door
