His Creation

It’s His creation.
They just appreciate it.
And chat a little.

1000 Beer Haiku

One thousand haiku
Exploring a world of beer
Celebrating life

Written by Captain Hops.

References: A journey of a thousand haiku begins with a single beer.

This is the thousandth post here at Beer Haiku Daily. I’ve been doing this for a few less than 1000 days but I have a bit more than a thousand haiku.

I appreciate everyone that has joined me on my journey. Special thanks to the many writers that have submitted haiku.

I plan on being here for at least as long as Cal Ripken’s streak, so if you haven’t submitted anything yet, you still have time.

Pour yourself another beer, because it is time to start the next 1000 haiku.
