from Cranks Creek Life · host The Cranks

In this episode, Frank flies solo as he shares a childhood funeral experience that includes his first taste of boilo, an ethnic beverage once consumed by many Pennsylvania coal miners. He discusses a bit of the history of boilo and the dominant use of Four Queens 101 Proof Blended Whiskey in boilo recipes, especially amongst the residents of Schuylkill County, which resides in the heart of the anthracite coal region in Eastern Pennsylvania.https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/218664/coal-region-boilo/https://coalregion.com/recipes/boilo/https://youtu.be/nb4NqrdD3B8?si=3c9kJPZYE9LGZfhp/
