Gongs chime in my ear.
The pounding, pulsing, painful
morning after mead.
Written by Medsen Fey.
References: Mead is fermented honey. Beer is when you convert the starches of grain to sugars and ferment that.

For those BHD purists that think it would be cheating to publish a mead haiku I offer you this one inspired by the raucous fermentation of my Belgian Dark Strong going on right now:

Watching the wort churn
Coffee oatmeal stout
A good drink for my breakfast
Wonderful morning
