Do you remember as a kid whiling away the time on a bus or in your parents car singing “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall”?
I’m the only one in my family who does not like the taste of beer. I’ve tried American, Belgian, German, Thai, Japanese, Australian, and Mexican beer and it all tastes like beer. The taste is unbeerable. Blech…..
Beer and the process of brewing beer goes back to ancient times in cultures the world over. The crafting of beer carries rich traditions, often requiring years of training and experience in the trade while the methods, grains, and flavors continue to change and evolve over time. Becoming a brewmaster can take years of fine-tuning the skills to make an exemplary beer or even an ale. One sure requirement is a love of beer and the craft. Today, fill your glass with an ice-cold, frothy beer and savor every gulp!
Pour yourself a cup of cheer Just for today make it a beer In a bottle or a cup The only phrase is " Bottoms up!"
Unbearable haha good one!
Amazing poem! Loved this post! π

LOL, Sam Sahana. Glad you liked it. If you have tried the beer at your tender age, I hope you did it responsibly.

I do remember singing that song, but I’m sorry that you’ve never tried a British beer. English beer is the best as far as I’m concerned, but I would say that wouldn’t I?
English ale (Known as Real Ale) is quite different to many other beers in that there’s no gas in it, and for Americans and most Europeans it’s an acquired taste, but I’ve had plenty of practice. Anyway, I’ll drink to National Beer Lover’s Day wherever it is.

I stand corrected, I have tried English beer, and beer by any other name or country still tastes nasty to me.

LOL. Believe me when I say that I wish I had never got to like it. I’d better rephrase that. I think other people wish I hadn’t got to like it

What? Not English? Warm and tasty real ale? Incidentally have you seen the detective series ‘Morse’? John Thaw, the star, didn’t like beer.

I stand corrected, I have tried English beer and in England, I even tried shandy. From my point of view, equally nasty. I haven’t seen Morse and I share his taste.

It’s totally okay that you don’t like beer. I’m not fond of wine. Eeek, blasphemy, I know! But we each have our own tastes.
