Join Prof. Hops for a romp through time unlike any other.


Patrick Quackenbush (Aka Professor Horatio Hops) is a museum Site Superintendent for the Ohio Historical Connection, a retired ODNR naturalist supervisor & story teller, college program manager and professor. But more importantly, a Cornell university certified Brew Master that has been brewing and recreating historical recipes for over 25 years. A love of literature and beer drove him to not only to Steampunk but generated a love of sharing his research and expertise with so many Steampunk friends. The Steambrewery was his own creation to make the presentations a magical journey through time, imagination, ingenuity and of course….ALE!
