Episode 279 The Beer that Flooded London and the Scalding Whiskey that drowned Glasgow!

from Family Plot · host Family Plot Podcast

We are joined this episode by Kansas City Comedian Dale Hilton to discuss the London Beer Flood of 1814 and the Gorbals Hot Whiskey Disaster of 1906.  We do cover these two strangely historical events and also discuss Beer and how it lead to both the formation of society as well as the invention of refrigeration because people wanted to keep their beer cold.  We also discuss 'Generic' Beer, trashcan punch parties, a store similar to Wal-mart and Target named Venture's , Purple Passion (available in cans and two liter-bottles) and so much more in this end of year but we're still learning in the festive episode filled with friendship and suspicious liquid cheer!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
