    • ]]>     Prohibition

    an experiment
    shockingly ineffective
    sensibly repealed


    Aftermath

    With the damage done
    It takes decades to restore
    Our lost treasure


    Neo-Prohibition

    “Do not drink and drive”
    Is an excellent message.
    “Do not drink” is not.

    References: This post is part of The Session. The Session is a monthly beer-themed group writing project for bloggers. This month’s theme is The Repeal of Prohibition and it is hosted by the 21st Amendment Brewery.

    You can read all about Prohibition in the United States in Wikipedia. Luckily for us it ended 75 years ago today when Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st amendment to the constitution. It was a spectacular failure. We should learn from the experience.

    I’m going to have a beer today to celebrate. And perhaps some nice whiskey too. Cheers!

    • ]]>     Yeah, I’m a Parrot Head

    that first sip of beer
    takes me to the same place as
    Jimmy Buffett’s songs


    Dance a Little Jig

    with whiskey and stout
    and some fast Irish music
    to chase it all down


    Ah… Youth

    out after midnight
    my brother on the guitar
    sipping stolen beers

    the Session: Beer and Music

    References: It’s time for The Session. This month it’s hosted by Tomme Arthur of The Lost Abbey. The theme is Beer and Music. The instructions are to share how you experience beer and music together.

    As you can probably see from my haiku today, it was my brother that got all the musical talent in the family.

    Here are some past haiku that touch on the beer and music theme:
