Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Seriously, I'm not a Bourbon drinker, but why ISN'T it a more formal part of Thanksgiving (as some in my TL have noted)?

      @emptywheel Whiskey is a modern product. The pilgrims were more likely drinking something ale-like. Bourbon shows up in 1800's.

      @jonahsilas But it IS quintessentially American now isn't it? Bc branding?

      @emptywheel But now you got me thinking about brewing up some gnarly colonial beer next year. Fresh hard cider also probably ok.

      @jonahsilas I'll come fetch some, thanks. (or make spouse make the same, assuming you're not close)

      @emptywheel I'd happily share as any actual replica probably offends the modern palate. :-)

      @emptywheel Just not a clean ferment. Nearly all modern alcoholic bevs made with lab isolated yeast. Ambient flora more diverse.

      @jonahsilas Oh, cloudy shit. I get that. But it also doesn't have today's bitter does it?

          @emptywheel The cloudy is about filtration, additives. I'm just talking about "cleanliness" in terms of flavors as a brewing term.

          @jonahsilas See? so 1) Bourbon should be a more central part of Thanksgivinging 2) Let's see what the Founders drank

          @jonahsilas Dunno about that but 1) Bourbon should be central, even if I and lots of Turkey cookers don't appreciate it 2) I'm curious.

          @emptywheel Bitterness is where ny knowledge runs aground. All sorts of things (mostly herbs) have historically been used to add bitterness

          @emptywheel Possibly hops. Not sure when hops came across. Definitely by revolutionary times. Maybe colonial, I just don't know... Yet!
