A threatening sky
Reflects ominously on

Brew Day Interrupted

Still contemplating
Braving the nasty snow storm
To keep my brew day

Snow in Maryland

Others purchase milk
But I load up on brewskies
For the coming storm

Written by Captain Hops.

References: In Maryland when they call for snow, the populace freaks out and stocks up on milk and toilet paper. Grocery stores are an absolute mob scene. It’s important to have your priorities straight.

Through the bar window
Lightning cuts a wicked jig

Faced with the deluge
I seek solace in porter
And weather the storm
