Bourbon whiskey was invented by a Baptist preacher

[Apathetic or whatever]

Reason #537 why Fundies avoid history:

Legend credits Baptist preacher Elijah Craig with the invention of Bourbon Whiskey.

(Granted, as with most legends, this is disputed. I still think it is funny)

For whatever its worth the Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony loved their beer and that's a FACT. I know because my whatever great grandfather who was there was fined for selling liquor without a license and he was a Deacon in the church. They didn't care that he sold it...they just wanted their money.

If you find a bottle, I will share a drink with you. Didn't you say you lived in VA?

Every time I see the title of this thread I think of the song, "On bourbon, one scotch, one beer...."

I'd love to but I'm WAY further south than Va.

If you're ever vacationing in sunny FL then perhaps you'll have to stop by our place.
