In this episode we are sipping on a colonial cocktail, the Stone Fence. This simple yet very funky concoction was once the favorite of Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold—its popularity ties into the era and region of TUX’s scandal.
In this vaccination themed episode of Beyond Reproach, TUX talks about the Founding Fathers views on vaccine mandates, America’s first anti-vax movement and the Black man who deserves credit for bringing the idea of inoculation to the New World. We raise our glasses to doing our patriotic duty and getting vaccinated because vaccines save lives!
