Was it something I said?

As the beer drips down
I can’t even remember
What I said to her

Frost is on the grass
Breath making clouds in the air
Need winter warmer

That I must have been way too…

And Give Thanks

Stopping for a beer
Amid mad preparation
I have to marvel

20 pound turkey wrapped in bacon
Photo and haiku by Captain Hops.

References: It’s Thanksgiving day in the US and that means enjoying family and food… and all the liquid refreshment that allows that to happen. I know I have a lot to be thankful for when I am staring at a 20 pound turkey completely wrapped in bacon and ready to go into the oven. I will try to take an “after” picture when it is finished cooking, but in my house something like this doesn’t usually sit around long enough to do that.

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you’re perfectly happy
To be where you’re at?

Guilty Pleasure

Dark guilty pleasure
Enjoyed slowly at midnight
Barrel aged porter

Written by Captain Hops.

References: I stumbled upon a single 22 oz bottle of Williamsburg Alewerks Brewmaster’s Reserve Bourbon Barrel Imperial Porter at Beltway Fine Wine. Wow! What a treat. Coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, thick, silky, rich. It was a fantastic dessert beer. I hope to see it again sometime soon.

For Instance

There’s plenty to do
While waiting for grain to mash.
Like drinking this beer…
