Society for the Advancement of Social Studies
All the history you knew but forgot, and
all the booze you need to forget it again.

The Society for the Advancement of Social Studies (SASS), The Brooklyn Brainery, and Public Assembly are proud to present a series of free lectures designed to both entertain and enlighten. On the first Tuesday of month, we will discuss a different historical topic that you probably knew at one point but don’t remember anymore.

This will be accompanied by fun games, surprise guests, and most importantly THEMED DRINK SPECIALS from the good folks at Public Assembly, which everyone knows is the best way to ensure maximum knowledge gained.

November Lecture: Now at Public Assembly

What you need to know:

November’s lecture will be “Happy 150th Anniversary, Civil War!” which means we’re gonna take all ya’ll on a fun and in formative journey so as to reacquaint yourself with the war between the states. We’ll teach you all about the causes, major battles and after-effects of this big, bloody, mess of a war. Also, we’re bringing you an in depth report on how those crazy Yankees in New York City handled this whole situation.

Be sure to stick around afterward for some libations and intellectual digestion as your ears are soothed by the funky grooves of DJ Phury.

What you also need to know:

We will be celebrating the fantastically outlandish facial hair of the civil war by having our very own Historical Beard Off. Please wear your finest beard/mustache/sideburns/fake beard if you wish to participate.
