Letterman Lager -- History, Drink It In!

The National Museum of Civil War Medicine (NMCWM), in partnership with Antietam Brewery, has "Letterman Lager" for sale exclusively at their location in Frederick, Maryland. The brew celebrates the "Father of Modern Battlefield Medicine," Dr. Jonathan Letterman, whose plan for evacuating the wounded during the Civil War led to many of today's military and civilian medical systems.

"We are excited to again work with Antietam Brewery, a company with a tradition of creating great tasting beers that also commemorate history," said David Price, Executive Director of the NMCWM. "Letterman Lager celebrates a true Civil War medical rock star. Without Letterman, the ambulance and EMT system that saves lives every day would not exist."

"We hope that by featuring this lager, people that might not otherwise come through our doors will be engaged with history," Price continued. "One of our slogans here is 'History--Drink It In!'"

Letterman Lager will only be available for purchase at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. The Museum is open to the public Thursday-Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 11-5. All other times by appointment.
