Largely forgotten in the bevy of turkey preparations is the Thanksgiving beverage of choice, and among the two most popular are spiked cider and beer. But how do you decide?
This highly anticipated bout hinges on one question: How annoying are your relatives? If the answer is “Not very,” then predicating your night around one or two flavorful ciders is an ideal strategy. In doses, spiked cider is an excellent accompaniment to a meal, especially one that is particularly heavy in starchy foods.
But what if you need to break the ice with some socially awkward family members, or numb the pain of repeatedly being asked “What’s new?” and “What have you been up to?” In this case, I would recommend six or seven beers. But drink cautiously, winter ales can just as easily become your most threatening adversary.
