From Hogarth's Beer Street to the Twelfth Night Revels, beverages have always been at the heart of our celebrations. In 1925, an advert for Horlicks showcased the original malted milk drink that warmed hearts and satisfied taste buds. A cheeseburger and chips combo became a classic pairing, tantalizing our palates with its savory goodness. As we traveled through time, a painted sign for Inca Kola caught our eye, promising a unique flavor experience. Pernis Super Anis poster from 1923 tempted us with its aniseed-infused elixir. Tea, originating from China's Camellia sinensis plant, has long been cherished for its soothing properties and cultural significance. Across the Atlantic in Nova Scotia's Alexander Keiths Brewery, barrels brimmed with Canadian craftsmanship and tradition. Venturing further east to Riga in Latvia, we discovered the famous Riga Black Balzams liquor shop proudly displaying their renowned concoction. Model T Fords transported these delightful libations across cities as they quenched thirsts during lively gatherings. A wine cellar stood as a testament to centuries-old winemaking traditions worldwide – each bottle telling tales of vineyards nurtured by dedicated hands. Boston's Samuel Adams beer barrel replica paid homage to America's rich brewing heritage. Whether it be sipping on ancient teas or indulging in modern-day delights like craft beers or flavored sodas – beverages have woven themselves into the fabric of human existence throughout history.
