Event Description: Historic Bethlehem Museums and Sites is excited to announce the opening of Bethlehem Brewed & Distilled, the newest exhibition coming to the Goundie House on June 1, 2015. The exhibition will showcase a complete history and a dynamic look into Bethlehem’s many breweries, spawning from both sides of the Lehigh River. Visitors will learn where these breweries were located around town and what made each one famous. The exhibit’s theme is centered around Johann Sebastian Goundie, who arrived in Bethlehem in 1803 to put the young city on the map with his skills as a brewer, to beer’s transformation during the industrial revolution, and finally it’s rebirth into the 21st century. Other highlights and stories visitors can expect are the discovery of Bethlehem’s secret “beer caves”, the “hidden vaults” filled with cash to pay off the police during prohibition, and “The Mustard & Cheese Society” at Lehigh University‘s Rennig brewery. Even from street level, visitors to the city will be swept into the exhibit as the basement windows of the house open, to showcase a replica of Goundie’s brewery and distillery. Presented throughout the entire first floor, the show includes five exhibits: The Goundie Experience, From Grain to Glass, Bethlehem Brews Beer, Women in Brewing and Liquid Time Travelers. To learn more about Bethlehem Brewed & Distilled or to schedule a visit to the Goundie House, please visit us at HistoricBethlehem.org or call 1-800-360-TOUR.
