About Detroit Drinks History
Your Host: Mickey Lyons
Mickey is a Detroit historian whose work focuses on the intersections of history and drinking culture. From 18th-century punch recipes to 21st century cocktail bars, Detroit’s drinking history deserves careful and conscientious study. History is shaped in the saloons and public houses of the world.
Mickey works to shine a light on the ways that the Third Places, as they’re called, both host and influence historic events and patterns.
