Q: What is groaning ale?
Answer after the jump….
Believe it or not, groaning ale is beer that was made specially for pregnant women. In Colonial America, a special brew was made while a woman was pregnant. When the woman went into labor, everyone, pregnant woman included, had a sip… and the baby was washed in the beer afterwards. I kid you not.
