• Medieval England (1350 AD): Follow Margery the Mischievous, who used her Witch's Brew to turn a witch trial into a village-wide feast.
  
  Industrial Revolution (1850 AD): Laugh along with Tobias the Tinkerer, whose experimental stout powered a broken steam carousel.
  
• The Cold War (1950 AD): Cheer for Edith the Intrepid, who brewed a "truth-telling ale" to expose spies in her sleepy village.
  
  Modern Day (2024 AD): Marvel at Rob from The Hidden Tap, whose AI-crafted ales caused glitter-filled chaos at a craft beer festival.

Whether you're a beer lover, history buff, or just someone who enjoys a good laugh, Tales from the Tap has something for everyone. Discover how beer has been at the center of human history-not just as a drink, but as a source of joy, connection, and occasionally, total pandemonium.
