The City of Quincy Board of License Commissioners on Oct. 7 approved a special-use one-day liquor license for Historic New England’s “Colonel Quincy Spyglass” event at the Quincy House, 20 Muirhead Street, on Friday, Oct. 10 from 5 to 7 p.m.

A representative described the program as a historical tour focused on Colonel Josiah Quincy and the lead-up to the Revolutionary War, timed to mark related anniversaries. The event will include a porch toast featuring Peace Field Beer from Break Rock Brewing Company, the presenter said.

Board members asked no substantive questions and moved to approve the special-use permit by voice vote; the chair recorded the vote as all in favor. No conditions beyond the standard permit were placed on the event during the hearing.

The applicant framed the event as part of expanded programming to highlight local Revolutionary-era history and to take advantage of the site’s sunset views. The commission then proceeded to its next agenda item.
