Antics at Wakes plus Beer

This week, Kate has some stories of mourning practices during pioneer times where things were more formality and social practices surrounding the loss of a loved one than today. But there was still room to let your hair down and engage in....antics. Plus, Paul has the history of beer brewing in Canada from a domestic kitchen staple that everyone including kids drank because you couldn't trust water to drink, to small local breweries with local ingredients, to industrial production. And now back to the past with the huge growth in local craft brewing. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum.
