Religions change; beer and wine remain

Hervey Allen – Historian, Poet, Author

But if at church they would give some ale. And a pleasant fire our souls to regale. We’d sing and we’d pray all the live long day, Nor ever once from the church to stray

William Blake

O Beer! O Hodgson, Guinness, Allsopp, Bass! Names that should be on every infant’s tongue

C.V. Calverley – English Poet and Paradist

Who cares how time advances? I am drinking ale today

Edgar Allan Poe

Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain.
Quantist thoughts – queerest fancies,
Come to life and fade away:
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.

Edgar Allan Poe

Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer

Henry Lawson – Australian Poet and Writer

This is grain, which any fool can eat, but for which the Lord intended a more divine means of consumption.. Beer!
