I remember being at an Italian place and the table had garlic bread, pasta, pizza, and beer: Bread, squiggly bread, fancy bread, and liquid bread.

In Oregon, we have a LOT of micro breweries so it would be tough to pin point one... however I do have a great fondness of Pelican Brewery and their IPA, Beak Breaker. A nice India Pale Ale that has won 9 various awards, packs 9% alcohol, very hoppy brew at 90 IBU and plato of 19.5. And, as they say, "Inconceivably Drinkable"

The idea that the Mayflower landed in Cape Cod Bay, rather than Virginia where it was chartered to, because it ran out of beer is highly unlikely. Upon arrival the crew went ashore and took on fresh water which would certainly have kept them over the several days needed to sail south to Virginia, and if not they could certainly have taken on more fresh water as they cruised down the coast. In fact, they spent several days searching for a good spot to land in Plymouth which would almost have been enough to reach Virginia in itself. Nathaniel Philbrick explains this in his book "Mayflower: Voyage, Community, War". What is much more likely is that the Puritans, who were a minority on the ship, had bribed the captain to stop there quite specifically. They had already acquired a native American guide by the name of Tisquantum, commonly known as Squanto, to find a good place for them to live, and in the end they settled on what was the site of Tisquantum's former summer village. Is it hard to believe then that the specific location that they landed at hadn't been planned before they'd even left England? The whole story about running out of beer is based on the writings of a passenger, William Bradford, who was one of the Puritans and later served as governor of the Plymouth Colony for 30 years. The quote reads "...for we could not now take time for further search or consideration, our victuals being much spent, especially our Beere, and it being now the 19.” The quote is taken out of context, however, by those that suggest that the Mayflower landed in Plymouth out of necessity. Bradford is not referring to the search for just any place to land, but specifically a place to set up camp within the area that they'd already pinpointed. There are multiple other sources that concur with this theory if you'd care to search them out.

Very interesting beer "history" from US. I remember that it was accidentally "found" in ancient Egypt. Do to climate they were storing grains in dig out places, as it was cooler that outside. One season it was unusually rainy and all of the grain "storage's" were field with water. So, it started to fermenting and when they open storage s they found fermented liquid that down the road became first beer.
