While many take body-warming cocktails in the winter for granted, the consumption of alcohol was illegal for a much-mythologized 14 years from 1919–1933. Join food writer Andrew F. Smith for a discussion about Prohibition and its lasting effects on the American psyche and the landscape of New York City’s alcohol making. Smith will be joined by Colin Spoelman, co-founder of the Kings County Distillery, which, at just 18 months old, is the oldest legally operating distillery within city limits. To ring in the start of another un-prohibited holiday season, sample King County's bourbon and corn whiskey.
