Baltimore Beer Week

The young and the old
From near and far we gather
To celebrate beer

Gratitude

Many raised glasses
Greeted the young veterans
Entering the bar

Empty

A buoyant bevy
Diverts the young bartender
My glass sits empty

The Session: Beer and Memories

Youth

Feeling kind of old
I grab a pack of cheap beer
and relive my youth

Indiscretion

Remember that time
We drank all that Beast and then
Skinny dipped? Er… No.

Fuji-san

That can of Kirin
We carried up Mount Fuji
And drank at sunrise

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 Beer and Memories and it is hosted by Bathtub Brewery.

Beer is all about creating new memories or reminiscing about old ones. Memories are funny things. Some are crystal clear, some are hazy. Memories are often inextricably linked to the senses with long forgotten scraps suddenly floating to the surface with the exposure to a sound, a smell, a sight, or a flavor. Here are a couple of beer memories as they were or may have been.

Cheers!

Wasted

Beer is like wisdom.
It is wasted on the young.
And it is soon gone.

Sometimes Nature Sucks

A beer in the shade
Young birds chatter above me
One relieves himself
