One of the good things of living in the States is that I was able to discover good high quality beer and learn to appreciate it. Not Bud Light or Miller, that’s canned pee. Beers like Okocim<\/a> and Delirium Tremens<\/a>. Learn what an IPA and a Lager are and so on. So I was looking around for beer culture stuff and found the following cheers. I hope you guys enjoy the cheers.<\/p>\n

To the holidays\u2014all 365 of them.<\/p>\n

I wish you a Merry Christmas
\nAnd a Happy New Year
\nA pocket full of money
\nAnd a cellar full of beer!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s drink the liquid of amber so bright;
\nLet\u2019s drink the liquid with foam snowy white;
\nLet\u2019s drink the liquid that brings all good cheer;
\nOh, where is the drink like old-fashioned beer?<\/p>\n

In heaven there is no beer…
\nThat’s why we drink ours here.<\/p>\n

He that buys land buys many stones.
\nHe that buys flesh buys many bones.
\nHe that buys eggs buys many shells,
\nBut he that buys good beer buys nothing else.<\/p>\n

Times are hard,
\nAnd wages are small,
\nSo drink more beer,
\nAnd fuck them all.<\/p>\n

When we drink, we get drunk.
\nWhen we get drunk, we fall asleep.
\nWhen we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
\nWhen we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
\nSo, let’s all get drunk, and go to heaven!
\n–Old Irish toast<\/p>\n

Here’s to a long life and a merry one.
\nA quick death and an easy one.
\nA pretty girl and an honest one.
\nA cold beer-and another one!
\n–Old Irish toast<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to women\u2019s kisses,
\nand to whiskey, amber clear;
\nnot as sweet as a woman\u2019s kiss,
\nbut a damn sight more sincere.<\/p>\n

But if at church they give some ale
\nAnd a pleasant fire for our souls to regale
\nWe\u2019d sing and we\u2019d pray all the live long day
\nNor ever once from the church to stray.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
