George Washington was also one of the United States’s biggest whiskey distillers while he was alive. My kind of man.

I think the idea of making your own beer is very cool. Have you seen the price of beer lately? I wonder if it is really difficult to make?!

He was also an entrepreneur. I understand he lost a big chunk of change on an aborted Canal-building scheme on the Potomac into W.VA and the Ohio River. Eventually the project got done later as the C&O Canal

I can imagine why our Founding Fathers emphasized freedom of a person and his property.

Now our governing philosophy is organizing special interest groups to suck off the Government tit.

In the “History of Beer” documentary, the American Revolution started in beer taverns in the colonial states, as they were the only meeting places were people could talk. Beer was even THE staple of “health drink” given to the Colonial army so in essence, beer is as American as apple pie.

Crap. I just woke up on the left coast and I want beer over coffee. Sheesh
