| About | While America is now famous for making bourbon and rye, it wasn't always a whiskey nation. In fact, during Colonial times rum was the drink of choice and it was made in distilleries along the East Coast. The country's drinking habits changed radically after July 4, 1776. No longer did Americans want to drink like the British. So they intentionally chose to drink whiskey. Pennsylvania played a key role in this fascinating evolution and helped create the young nation's whiskey industry. Join us for a talk on this spirited subject by Noah Rothbaum, the author of The Whiskey Bible: A Complete Guide to the World's Greatest Spirit. The event will include a tasting of local whiskey and gourmet hors d'oeuvres from acclaimed Chef Ian Knauer. |
