I just started fermenting my first batch of wort this last Saturday - even better homemade!!!
Beer makes you smarter and ugly women pretty.......
The down side of beer is that hops are not good for male sexual potency. I wonder if all the young guys guzzling today’s fashionable heavily-hopped beer realize that?
After reading that a frosty friend would taste pretty good.
(I saw it on a t-shirt in a bowling league, once).
Beer is a good start.
Who drinks just one glass of beer?
That always annoyed me because throughout my adult life, I've been 6'3" and average about 250 pounds. I can go through a six pack during the course of a night and not even feel the effects of it. Now I can see where somebody half my size might catch a buzz on a six-pack but I would have to drink it pretty quickly.
I've been averaging about 4 glasses a beer a night (or the wine equivalent) for close to 40 years and I'm in perfect health.
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
Ever watch the History of Beer on History? Beer halls were the only place where colonials would meet up and plan strategies on how to overthrow the Brits out of America. Without beer, there would be no America. :)
I’ll drink (hic) to that.
Ya had me at
Have a Brewski!
Clink!
Beer is good food!
Also, never forget this very important nugget from Cliff Clavin:
“Well ya see, Norm, it’s like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”
I've done extensive reading on beer...never heard of that before. Source?
The Green Dragon Tavern was very popular as a gathering place for patriots . and Yes. They imbibed as they consorted&connived to kick the crown to the curb.
If I knew of a brand that tasted good, maybe I would drink one. All of what ones that I tried all burned or were just really bitter.
But then there's this:
In fact, a 2011 study in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology found alcohol dulls brain signals responsible for self-control.
