Happy Thanksgiving

Posted by in Other Oddities on November 25, 2010 2:06 pm / no comments

Today Americans pause and remember what we are thankful for.  About a year after landing at Plymouth Rock and a successful harvest, the Pilgrims celebrated by holding the first Thanksgiving.  Beer played a role in getting them there.  They intended to settle farther south, but a lack of beer on board was one of the reasons the ship laid anchor at Plymouth Rock.  Beer in those times was lower in alcohol content and used as a way to keep water clean of disease.

So in keeping with the spirit of the holiday I am thankful for:

  • Beer Bitch
  • A Bro
  • A family to drink with
  • My readers over 1,500 of you
  • Finally, being sappy, all the other good things in life.
