Most definitely! In fact, the Pilgrims were not headed for Massachusetts - they were steering for somewhere further south, like modern-day Georgia, where the weather is friendlier. The only reason they stopped suddenly in Massachusetts at the onset of winter is that they ran out of beer! The diary of one Mayflower passenger stated: "We could not now take time for further search...our victuals being much spent, especially our beer..." In fact, many original settlers were brewers, as this was primarily done in the home during this time. One of the first permanent structures built when they landed was a communal brewery for the colonists! Cheers to that!

What did the pilgrims do a few weeks after they boarded the Mayflower?

I don't know what they would've done but I do know they ate hard biscuits and drank water although, the sailors drank beer. After a while, everything they ate got harder and the water got infested, so even kids had to drink beer. A little longer posed ANOTHER problem; the beer even started to get a little sour. I'm in fifth grade and that's all I know about the pilgrims' trip on the Mayflower.


What kind of alcoholic drinks did pilgrims have?

Pilgrims typically consumed alcoholic beverages such as beer and cider, which were more common than water at the time due to concerns about water purity. Beer, often brewed at home, was a staple in their diet, and cider made from fermented apples was also popular. They occasionally drank wine, particularly during religious ceremonies, but it was less accessible than beer and cider. Overall, these drinks were integral to their daily life and social interactions.

What did the Pilgrims drink at the first Thanksgiving?

Although the drinks available on the first Thanksgiving Day were not factually recorded, it is likely that the pilgrims drank mostly beer and wine. Drinking water back then was often unsafe (just like drinking the water when travelling to certain countries today); beer & wine were much safer from microorganisms. (The Pilgrims obviously didn't know that was the cause of the water's unsafety so they didn't boil it. They only knew people didn't get sick from beer and wine.) Alcohol was frowned upon by the Puritans only when it was abused--and it was the prophynols, not the alcohol, that made beer/wine safe, so they didn't have to be strong. (The Mayflower was a wine vessel capable of carrying 180 casks of wine.) Some speculate they also drank fruity juices and cider.
