Boozy Inspiration

May 01, 2012 12:35

Over Easter my fam and I visited my sister in Pittsburgh. Fantastic trip! We went to a hard cider distillery; went on an Easter Booze Cruise; ate waffles at 1:00 am and went to the most awesome Heinz History Center, which I highly recommend.

There, I learned about Pittsburgh Whiskey Rebellion circa 1792 and became slightly more tolerant, if not enamored, with that confused and run-down city clinging to the hills.

Following is a quotation from the Whiskey Rebellion exhibit:

Whiskey
"It steals gently upon the senses, like music upon the soul, and animates the intellect without
ever collapsing an idea."Samuel Johnson reflecting on the spirit “Pure Rock Water”

Rightly said, Johnson. Rightly said!
