Cheers!

What would be a festival without some pints of beer?
Frothy flagons flecked with foam, and dripping from my beard.
Ales pale, red and dark, stouts as black as night.
Hoppy pilseners fresh and clear, with carbonation bright.

Rows of casks, all piled high, elixir flowing free.
Rich and malty, sweet and strong, like mother's milk to me.
Come, ye barman, snap to life and pour another draught.
For the task, I'll tip you well, and soon we'll share a laugh.

What shall crown this merriment? Perhaps an IPA.
Could there be a better fit to cap this happy day?
Amber malt with earthy hops exploding to the nose;
Catching second wind, I'll have another one of those!

@misslittleDHP Thank you, and for the repost as well. I owe you a bit of credit for the mother's milk line, actually. :D

Not a fan of beer & only generally participate if I'm caught up in a boat race (I've got a strange ability to be able to down liquids speedily!) This piece, however, could almost make me change my mind, and to take the time to sample, and to savour, a few alternatives! Excellent post😌

@Fly10 Indeed, it could well be you just haven't found the right beer yet. And I didn't even mention the Belgian styles!

@Fly10 Oh, and many thanks for the repost.
