That it is.
As I was about to sip my first beer at a local restaurant with friends, I saw a sign above the bar with a quote from Benjamin Franklin, “Beer is proof that G-d loves us and wants us to be happy”. Well, Ben as we know was a smart guy, he must know something about alcohol! As it turns out that line is probably an urban legend and Franklin really said something about rain on a vineyard entering the roots of the vines so we can turn grapes into wine. Who really cares? I’ll drink to that too.
But it got me thinking and searching for some of the best lines about beer I could find. I have a favorite myself, but I’ll save it til the end. So before you tip one back this weekend, consider these as inspiration 😉
“Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.” – Arnold Schwarzanegger
“Beer makes you feel the way you want to feel without beer.” – Henry Lawson, Australian Poet and Writer

“Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza. -Dave Barry
“24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?” – Stephen Wright, Comedian
“Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world.” – Kaiser Wilhelm
“A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it’s better to be thoroughly sure.” -Czech Proverb

“Religions change; beer and wine remain.” – Hervey Allen – Historian, Poet, Author
“What care I how time advances? I am drinking ale today.” – Edgar Allan Poe
And maybe my favorite…..

Until next time, thanks for taking the time.
Bottoms up.
