- Bayou Bend presents The History of American Beverages, Sundays, January 22 through February 12, 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM. Join Bayou Bend in January and February as the historic house museum offers an interactive, tastebud-friendly look at the history of several popular American beverages. Over four weeks, participants will learn the history of coffee, tea, distilled spirits and hot chocolate in American foodways, as well as taking part in tastings. These four beverages have reflected fashion and taste, but have also affected economics, politics, and of course the objects that Americans made and used. Guest speakers include Nick Castelberg, Chef and Head of Foodways at the George Ranch in Sugar Land, as well as Lee Garcia, editor-in-chief of Tea in Texas Magazine. During the fourth week, a special tour of the Bayou Bend collection which focuses on objects relating to drinking and beverages will be a part of the itinerary. This series was inspired by the fall Bayou Bend/Rienzi History Book Group selection A History of the World in Six Glasses by Tom Standage, which can be enjoyed at the Kitty King Powell library. Topic Dates: January 22 Coffee January 29 Spirits February 5 Tea February 12 Chocolate / House Tour
