An Ode to Fall Beers
The best time of the year is upon us, folks. Though the sun is still shining and the temps remain high, a seasonal change is happening in liquor stores, taprooms and bars across the country: it’s time for fall beers. And here, my friends, is my poetic tribute to the beers that I love.
An Ode to Fall Beers
Oh, AMBER GODDESSES!
Malty comfort when the wind cools
As we reach for our beanies and scarves, we also reach for you,
a warm accessory for the changing clime
Oh, SKILLFUL COMPANIONS!
Deft in your ability to mingle and schmooze
A stout, an ale, a lager, a porter
Your pumpkin flavor complements them all
Oh, TRANSIENT BEINGS!
Your time with us is fleeting; time we must savor while we can
We cling to your toasty caramel goodness
Until the snow falls and the siren’s song calls out to us,
“It’s time to switch to stouts and porters”
