“I don’t see the American Revolution happening without taverns.”
“One interesting thing about Prohibition is that people are really invested in the story as something that created more problems than it solved. To some degree, it’s true, but if you look at the beginning of Prohibition, people really did drink less. For the first half of it, it really was successful at curbing people’s over-consumption.” — Christine Sismondo on Beer Sessions Radio
“Taverns were the first libraries, the first art galleries, and the first cinemas.” — Barry Smyth
