The cold morning finds
abandoned bottles and me
sitting listlessly

She grabs two bottles
And joins me on the sofa
I start the movie

Lost with a bottle
Cold nights make me wish I was
Stuck on an island

After the Game

Winners and Losers
Share beer, tales, and fellowship
‘Til the next battle

Written by Captain Hops.

References: Flying Dog announced the winner of their Twitter haiku contest yesterday. Redhead Writing was the obvious champion with her subtle but poignant verse:

Drinking Flying Dog
Makes boys touch my breast-es-ses
So I drink it lots.

Congratulations to all the winners and entrants! Cheers!

Here’s to our Nina…
The best damn kitty cat, that
couldn’t fetch a beer.

After Dinner Treat

After the grilled lamb
Schlafly Reserve for dessert
Is that macaroon?

Written by Captain Hops.

References: I found a bottle of Schlafly Reserve Oak Aged Imperial Stout and decided to open it last night after eating a particularly good grilled lamb steak. It was the perfect dessert! There were cocoa, vanilla, and toasted coconut flavors going on in there that I couldn’t believe. It tasted a little like chocolate macaroons. There was a lot going on but it was perfectly balanced. What a treat!

She was looking for a fight
Why’d I take the bait
