Happy Thanksgiving
Posted by SmallTimeDrinker 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.
