“my beer”

my beer

my beer

i want my beer to be good and honest, with a hint of the unknown.

i want my beer to be authentic and fresh, with an explosive finish.

i want my beer to be a flavorsome masterpiece, brewed outside the united kingdom but still within the european economic community.

i want my beer to be strong and have integrity like my father, and i want it to be kind and forgiving like my mother.

i do not want my beer to be bitter and unreliable like my uncle pete, and i do not want it to taste of metal, like someone has put a pocketful of loose change in it.
