I went to the recesses of the basement and there amid the cobweb festooned

the Black and Evil bew, so called because I negleted the malt and it darkened
into a sort of ... eh ... charcoal. But the beer was excellent, five years
ago. Beer doesn't age well like wine and it was still OK, but just OK, but
plenty good enough to inspire a snort of distain in the direction of the beer
companies or the universe, whichever, little odds.

So here on this day of the full moon I have taken vows in the order of St.
Arnold, the vows of poverty .... eh .... fermentation ... ah ... and indulgence.
Yeah, that's the ticket!

Well spoken! Er, drunk! Well, whatever.

Rising price. They blame it on the hops. They blame it on transportation costs. They blame it on inflation. Huh! James has it right: a proper homesteader makes his own!

By the way, upon both Internet and personal basement research I have concluded that beer, some beer, especially high voltage beer, does in fact not only keep, but improve with age.

And I will drink to that also.
