The Decline of The First Beer Family
Anheuser-Busch began brewing Budweiser beer in 1876. The brewing process takes 30 days, and once brewed, the beer can be kept in a cool place for 110 days. Adolf's taste and judgment were correct, and Budweiser quickly became the king of sales when it was introduced to the American market. At its peak, Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser had a 50 percent market share in the United States -- that is, one out of every two bottles of beer sold in the United States at the time was Budweiser.

What’s in beer? When I last asked this at a fancy gastropub, around a polished wooden table and ridiculously priced pints, I received a bunch of blank stares. One mate tentatively responded “hops?”.
How Beer Shaped the Modern World
Without beer, it's quite possible that civilization would not have evolved into what it is today. In fact, the world's first civilizations depended on beer, which was used as both a wage and a critical part of daily sustenance.

In Praise of the Bellissima Bellini
My favorite food and wine pairing is the bellini cocktail. In essence, it's fruit juice for grownups, but that description hardly does it justice. Prosecco and white peach puree team up for a sophisticated yet entirely approachable potent potable.

But it's also the perfect thirst quencher at any time, especially on a hot summer day in Venice, where it was invented.

Rock & Rye is an 84 proof alcoholic beverage that was esrtablished in 1884. It is comprised of straight rye whiskey, navel oranges, raw honey, and rock candy. Bitters, which are flavored with botanical matter, are added to give the drink a taste that is both bitter and sweet. Longstanding brands of bitters initially developed into patent medicines, but now are sold as products to aid digestion.

Captain Morgan is a name known far and wide, but today the only fear it generates is in people who can't quite remember what they did after their eighth shot of rum on Saturday night. However, unlike some products that come up with catchy names and memorable mascots to go with them, Captain Morgan was a real person. Beyond simply existing though, Captain Henry Morgan wrote his name in gunpowder and blood all throughout the Caribbean in the 1600s.

The 10 Weirdest Drinking Laws Throughout Time
When the topic of drinking laws is brought up, Prohibition is usually what initially comes to mind, as this marked a particularly stringent era of federal restriction in regards to alcohol.

The weirdest drinking laws throughout the course of history are comical reminders that alcohol and our aversion to it make us do strange things.
