Review # 1 was written on 2007-08-27 00:00:00 D D This is a really cool history and how-to guide for all sorts of crazy old Colonial beverages, like "Whistle Belly Vengeance" (sour beer sweetened with molasses and breadcrumbs) and "Abbot's Flip" (beer, eggs, sugar, rum, brandy). It has a really cool glossary too, with words like "grog-fight" (a drinking party) and "bung hole" (the wooden plug of a filling hole in a barrel). Hmmm...that's not the definition I had!

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-26 00:00:00 Lee Breed Not quite the how-to extravaganza I expected, but it has some interesting pointers I'd like to test. The section on hot mixed drinks is especially timely with the first big snowfall of the year.
