Did you know there’s a National Beer Day? I didn’t, but I do now. And yes, of course I’m celebrating. Here’s a silly poem to prove it.
For you, O Mighty Brew,
libation of
fierce warriors
and
humble monks
alike,
we celebrate this day.
Quencher, and friend,
foe, and consoler,
partner in pleasure,
in sadness,
and (sometimes, perhaps) in crime
(we won’t speak of that now…),
you are a time in yourself,
a moment of fizzy bliss,
of foamy joy.
You, Oh Ancient Potion,
are powerful, potable,
volatile magic.
You make us brave
(but foolish).
You make us wise
(for a while).
To you, I tip my hat.
And then drop it.
Thanks for that.

Perfect! Just perfect! I did not know there was one until today when J came out and checked the refrigerator space saying he was going to buy a growler since it was National Beer Day. LOL. The poem is spot on, Katie!

Thanks! I found out about it yesterday morning. We always keep some good craft beer in the house, so we were equipped to celebrate, luckily. 🙂

It looks like orange juice.

It tasted a little citrus-y! Not heavy and not too sweet, though.

I try to limit it to weekends and time with friends. I’m actually not a big drinker myself these days. I’m a big fan of craft beer and cider, though, when I do have a drink.

People in our local area are fond of drinking. They drink everyday, which sometimes results in scolding each other etc.

There are lots of wineries and breweries here, so it’s part of the culture in a big way. It’s really fun and interesting, learning about the process of making wine and beer, and seeing all that goes into it. The weekends around here can be a little…busy, but it’s mostly quiet during the week.

No…no…no…, Drinking is a serious issue here. Every day drinkers fight with their family members ( especially their wives).
I have my lost my two cousins because of it.
