Saturday 18th September The Bartons Arms will welcome James Sumner to the venue in conjunction with the British Science Festival. Take a light hearted stagger through the scientific history of drink in the company of James Sumner, historian and part-time traveller. This talk (with occasional shouting) meets Issac Newton, Humphry Davy and others as the ponder great questions such as: Is wine alcholic? Should beer contain rotting fish? And What spoils drink: microbes, or thunder? The talk will last one hour and will commence at 7pm.
