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)?
@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 Gotcha. Well, I can encourage spouse to replicate. I'd be curious to do it. -
@emptywheel You've got me intrigued, even though my body would rebel at drinking it. -
@jonahsilas See? so 1) Bourbon should be a more central part of Thanksgivinging 2) Let's see what the Founders drank -
@emptywheel I like that you just brought it home to the initial assertion. A journalist through & through. :-) -
@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 Sounds right to me! Thanks for keeping me company on this my first & hopefully last solo thanksgiving.

@emptywheel Bitterness is where ny knowledge runs aground. All sorts of things (mostly herbs) have historically been used to add bitterness -
@jonahsilas But not hops? The Founding Fathers were Other_Bitter_Heads? -
@emptywheel Possibly hops. Not sure when hops came across. Definitely by revolutionary times. Maybe colonial, I just don't know... Yet!
