Unless you have been living under a rock or you have gotten too caught up in the presidential race, you should know about the three part series “How Booze Built America.” Sure, maybe I am talking about this a little late on the draw. But I spent tonight watching the final episode tonight instead of ignoring the presidential debate. It was time well spent.
A couple hightlights that I did not know before (yay I learned stuff today). They had communion wine for the moon landing to toast the success of landing on the moon. And the distinction between a moonshiner and a boot legger. The moonshiners are the ones who make the hooch. Bootleggers are the ones who attempt to outrun the lawmen and get the hooch to market.
And now, I do believe it is time for a pint…
I've caught bits and parts of it. I am going to have to sit down and watch the whole thing. Looks like a fascinating show!
