Lecture and Tasting with The Beer Snob

Will Siss has been writing the “Beer Snob” column for the Waterbury Republican-American since 2005. In 2015 he published the book, “Connecticut Beer: A History of Nutmeg State Brewing” which is a profile of the beer breweries in Connecticut, including profiles of the brewers, pubs and restaurants that focus on craft brews. On June 11 at 4 p.m. in the Essex Library, Siss will present an illustrated talk on the current craft beers being produced in Connecticut and will conduct a beer tasting with attendees afterwards. Siss earned a BA in English from Gettysburg College and an MS from the Columbia School of Journalism.
