How old is beer, and how do we know the peoples of the ancient Near East, Egypt, the Aegean, and Roman worlds consumed it? This CU on the Weekend presentation by CU Boulder Lecturer and Beer Archaeologist Travis Rupp will examine the earliest archaeological evidence of beer and brewing. The lecture will also analyze ancient references and labels for beer provided by various Mesopotamian, Biblical, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman sources in order to define what beer was in antiquity. Rupp will trace the etymology of these terms to the Late Roman period when political and religious institutions used beer and brewing terminology to define social classes, nationalities, and religious populations on the fringes of Roman dominion. Lastly, the lecture will explore how the very terms used to damn and scrutinize beer brewing and drinking populations were used in later periods of European history and still shape the terms and definitions we use for beer today.

Tundra – Dance Performance
Tundra is dance performance on July 28th and 29th at the Truss House in RiNo Denver. The purpose of this work is to reframe the misconception that these are cold, frozen, lifeless places disconnected from human existence are actually teeming with life, in constant motion and never-ending transition–from moving rocks and shifting glaciers to curious pikas burrowing deep in the snow. Our goal is to have the audience walk away with a deeper connection to the tundra, a newfound appreciation of how climate change in the mountains will affect us down here in the front range, and a better understanding of why we should protect this ecosystem. The performance is family friendly and intended to build an emotional connection to this particular environment and its related issues, while our environmental partner will help address scientific questions and channel the audience’s emotions into actions.
