A Toast To Beer
Posted by Skrud at Friday, March 2nd 2007 at 12:58pm
To hops
To malt
To yeast
To barley
To the Mesopotamians who invented it,
To the Egyptians who continued it,
To the Germans who perfected it
To us who love it
To beer!

You can change the fourth line to whatever characteristic of your beer that you want to point out. So if you’re drinking a wheat beer, you’d say “to wheat” instead of “to barley”, or “to raspberry” or whatever.
You can also change the 7th line, in case you’re not drinking German beer or beer brewed in the German style. So if you’re drinking Belgian-style beer you’d say “to the Belgians who perfected it” … or substitute for Czechs (especially if you’re drinking Pilsner).
We also added a line before “To us who love it” to pay homage to our fabulous bartender:
To Kimberly who serves it
I love beer.
