In historical accounts, Ben Franklin, notable statesman, brilliant inventor and charismatic businessman, captivated the hearts of generations. He was a man who enjoyed his friendships as much as he enjoyed his beer, as evidenced in his words, “He that drinks his Cyder alone, let him catch his horse alone.” His writings, particularly Poor Richard’s Almanac, were peppered with these light-hearted musings:
“There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking.”
“Drink does not drown care, but waters it, and makes it grow faster.”
“Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”
