This week on Lore on Tap, we finally tackle the question every pirate (and movie fan) has asked: why is the rum always gone? We chart the history and lore behind rum in Pirates of the Caribbean, dig into what it really symbolizes, and debate how it became the drink of choice for scallywags across the Seven Seas. Along the way, we feature a few of our signature in-universe commercials and sponsor spots, hold a full-blown pirate therapy session, and welcome a guest from Germany to share their take on pirate culture abroad. It’s part history, part chaos, and all rum.
