Travis will discuss his most recent involvement in United States federal law where the definition of beer is being hotly debated and contested by macro breweries. As an expert witness in a recently decided federal case, Travis was called upon to discuss the origins and definitions of beer throughout antiquity and why the definition of beer is what it is today. Having been relieved of his legal duties (for now), he can share that message publicly. This presentation will demonstrate how beer is a timeless artifact that ties the present to the distant past.</p><div class="ucb-box ucb-box-title-left ucb-box-alignment-none ucb-box-style-outline ucb-box-theme-lightgray"> <div class="ucb-box-inner"> <div class="ucb-box-title">Travis Rupp</div> <div class="ucb-box-content"> is a full-time lecturer in Classics, Art History, History, Anthropology, and Mechanical Engineering at the «Ƶ, where he has taught for 13 years. Since 2010 he has taught Egyptian, Near Eastern, Greek, and Roman. His scholarly expertise focus on ancient food and alcohol production, ancient sport and spectacle, and Pompeii and the cities of Vesuvius. He worked at Avery Brewing Company for nine years as the Wood Cellar and Research and Development Manager. Rupp holds the title of Beer Archaeologist and founded Avery’s Ales of Antiquity Series, which ran from 2016-2020. He serves on the National Advisory board for the Chicago Brewseum and owns The Beer Archaeologist - a company dedicated to research and experimental archaeology of historic beer. As a result of his career and passions, Rupp is researching and writing about the beginnings of beer in the Roman military, brewing in the early monastic tradition, and beer production in Revolutionary America. His first book will be about the changing definition of beer throughout history. Recently Rupp’s travels and research abroad have focused on monastic brewing in Italy from 400-900 CE, brewing in Roman Britain during the 2nd century CE, beer production at Mt. Vernon and Monticello, and the survival of the Belgian brewing tradition during WWI.&nbsp;</div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content-media ucb-article-content-media-right col-lg"> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--media paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/classics/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/article-image/ancient_container.png?itok=HDsvvFOh" width="1500" height="1440" alt="pot used in ancient beer brewing"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Thu, 26 Oct 2023 20:38:27 +0000 Anonymous 1909 at /classics Egyptian Art & Archaeology in Spring 2019 /classics/2018/12/17/egyptian-art-archaeology-spring-2019 <span>Egyptian Art &amp; Archaeology in Spring 2019</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2018-12-17T13:16:11-07:00" title="Monday, December 17, 2018 - 13:16">Mon, 12/17/2018 - 13:16</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/classics/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/article-thumbnail/screen_shot_2018-12-17_at_1.16.46_pm.png?h=4b136d5a&amp;itok=GUL2o8qR" width="1200" height="800" alt="picture of pyramids in Egyptian desert"> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-categories" itemprop="about"> <span class="visually-hidden">Categories:</span> <div class="ucb-article-category-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-folder-open"></i> </div> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/213"> 2018 </a> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/137"> News and Events </a> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/167" hreflang="en">announcements</a> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/54" hreflang="en">news</a> <a href="/classics/taxonomy/term/253" hreflang="en">rupp</a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default 3"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><h3 class="text-align-center">ARTH/CLAS 2029-001<br> Lecture MW 9-9:50 (3)<br> HUMN 1B50<br> Travis Rupp</h3><p class="text-align-center"> </p><div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/classics/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/article-image/screen_shot_2018-12-17_at_1.16.46_pm.png?itok=zkjwCcNS" width="750" height="577" alt="picture of pyramids in Egyptian desert"> </div> <p><span>From the Pyramids of Giza to the Valley of the Kings and King Tut to Cleopatra, this course will explore how Egyptian history and culture impacted the development of the most notable and recognizable art and architecture in the world.
