@Curtmungus your honor of being more famous than me is quite deserved. I salute you.
Beer
-
in my best Homer voice:
“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrr!”

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to prosper.
–Benjamin Franklin
Beer when drank with moderation softens the temper, cheers the spirit and promotes health.
–Thomas Jefferson
Many battles have been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer.
–Fredrick the Great
No soldier can fight unless he is properly fed on beef and beer.–John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough
And where would we be without Homer?
Alcohol, the cause and solution of all of life’s problems.
And some wisdom from Papa.
Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

“The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.”
-Humphrey Bogart“If God had intended us to drink beer, He would have given us stomachs.”
-David Daye“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, ‘It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.’”
-Deep Thought, Jack Handy“We old folks have to find our cushions and pillows in our tankards. Strong beer is the milk of the old.”
-Martin Luther“You’re not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.”
-Dean Martin“I would kill everyone in this room for a drop of sweet beer.”
-Homer Simpson“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.”
-Frank Sinatra“_… bread, meat, vegetables and beer.”
-Sophocles’ philosophy of a moderate diet“Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world.”
-Kaiser Welhelm“You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.”
-Frank Zappa_ -

That was sort of how I found mine too. Googled for “Beer Quotes” the one site had a bunch of exchanges between Norm and Sam or Woody. Although most of mine are also on a poster I have.
I like this one from Oscar Wilde, “Work is the curse of the drinking classes.”
The other one from Ben Franklin, “There can not be good living where there is not good drinkng.”
And from Sam Adams, “Let no man thirst for good beer.”
I think DZ used a great one in the Sinatra one.
-
Definatly no shortage of quotes about beer, Oscar Wilde has some good ones, but what do you expect from an Irish Poet?
-
Not really about beer per se, but I love this one from Dorothy Parker:
I wish I could drink like a lady,
I’ll have one or two at the most.
Three and I’m under the table,
Four and I’m under the host. -
It’s also a rule in my house that the fridge will never be without at least one Guinness.
Hopefully the Gunniess in the can. Far superior head and taste as compared to the Gunniess in the bottle.
If its yellow (or brown or black) and has bubbles I drink it :-D
This being new England I drink a lot of Sam. Also a fan of Saranac which is a regional. Love Yuengling (oldest Brewery in Ameica) when I can get my hands on it. They dont distribute to CT, and my liver probably thanks them for it :-D
-
Love Yuengling (oldest Brewery in Ameica). We stock too much of it in NYC. Thank God for that.
PA isn’t to far from CONN. They should be ashamed of themselves for not carrying such a american tradition.Yeungling , best poured in a pint glass, out of a can (super ice cold)… No bottle yuck!!!
Still love, Guinness, no doubt about it. Kind of prefer it room temperature, such a frothy rich taste, like a good cup of espresso with the foam, of course.
How bout’ Boddington’s from Engand. The beer with the shakers in the can. -
For some reason I don’t like Guinness very much out of the bottle either…but I do believe that is a slightly different Guinness (Extra Stout).
Boddington’s is badass. :-D Do a half and half with Guinness…it’s great.

After gaining back the 20 pounds I lost last year, I have had to give up my beloved Newcastle in exchange for lower calorie brews…
Becks Light is the lowest calorie beer I can find, 67 calories per bottle… but you might as well drink water (it is the most bland beer I have ever tasted).
I settled instead on Sam Adams Light… removing about 1/3 of the calories that I drink…
Not a bad brew. And damn fine for a light beer! -
@ncscswitch:

Not a bad brew. And damn fine for a light beer!Agreed, if you like to actually taste beer, then Sam Light is a great choice
-
I think it is funny they call Sam Adam Light a light beer. I would have laughed if I hadn’t already known I was drinking light beer. Tasty stuff.

My new roomie is very fond of Newcastle, so it’s growing on me again. But I turned her on to Delirium Tremens last night, so it’s all good. :)
-
Beer can be a four letter word, too
ask a guy the morning after
-
Well, yeah, if you ask him before he’s had his Bloody Beer!

@Der:

Great stuff, but you have to sell your left nut to be able to afford it.
-
True, its about $1.50 a can here

Please tell me that Delirium Tremens is also the name of a Drink/Band/video game/tv show . . . otherwise she needs to be in a hospital (or at least loaded up with valium and thiamine).
And are you non-Canadians still talking about beer? That’s kind of like a group of Cubans discussing optimizing one’s stock portfolio, no?
-

That’s steep, but still cheaper than here.
I try to keep it to a dollar a beer, unless its a barley-wine style like Serria Nevada Big Foot…
