The Pilgrims likely didn't have beer at the first Thanksgiving in 1621, debunking myth perpetuated by early 20th-century beer marketing campaigns.
Water was likely the primary beverage at the first Thanksgiving, as the Plymouth area had clean and safe freshwater options available.
Hard cider may have appeared at the feast, as Pilgrims were familiar with cider from England but it remains uncertain.
The absence of beer was due to factors like lack of brewing ingredients, time constraints, and the absence of breweries until 1637.
