I need Everyone's help on this one. It's tough, and I'm in an online contest to get it answered before everyone else. Please Help!

Born in Philadelphia November 10th, and are always faithful, name the tavern and discover the musette de cour connection, and that which came before the wine.


I know all of the obvious.

The marines born in philadelphia November 10th at "Tun Tavern"
And I know musette de cour is a musical instrument like the bag pipes.

I just can't seem to put it all together. Especially the musette de cour connection AND that which came before the wine...

What am I missing?

The St. Andrew's Society of Philadelphia (http://www.standrewsociety.org/index2.htm)
The Society that came to be known as the St. Andrew's Society of Philadelphia was named in honor of Andrew the Apostle, the patron saint of Scotland.

While formal, recorded minutes of the Society began in 1749, it appears that the Society was founded in 1747 at the Tun Tavern, which was the fashionable meeting and dining place of the time in Philadelphia.

The "what came before wine" could be Ale?
