A promotional flyer on a wood-textured background with hops and beer pints for an event titled “PORTER WARS – Book Talk and Beer Tasting.” At the top, white text reads: “4pm Sunday, December 7th.” Below, large bold white text states “PORTER WARS,” with smaller text underneath reading “BOOK TALK AND BEER TASTING.” Text reads: “Join Dr Christina Wade for a talk on Irish beer in the 18th century.
