"It's beer 30"

 

[jjotmo]

“Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

-Cliff Claven, Cheers

This is the best. I love this one.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.

-Deep Thought, Jack Handy

Saw this one today, loved it. Plus, I'm a Poe fan.

“Quaintest thoughts, queerest fancies come to life and fade away. What care I how time advances; I am drinking ale today.” -Edgar Allen Poe

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal labotomy.

To further 'quote' Ben Franklin, this is on the website of one of my favorite local breweries:

"In Beer there is freedom, in wine wisdom, in water there is bacteria." In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia Coli (E. Coli), a bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. However, we do not run that risk when drinking beer or wine because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering, and fermenting, etc.
Remember:

Water = POOP Beer = FREEDOM Wine = WISDOM.

Therefore, it's better to drink beer or wine and talk stupid than to drink water and be full of ****.

"In wine there is truth. In beer there is strength. In water there is bacteria."

Attributed to David Auerbach (also to Ben Franklin, but they didn't know about bacteria in the 1700s...)

Bahahahahaaaa!!! Nice one.


I belive it was Frank Sinatra who said: "I feel sorry for people that don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that the best that they're gonna feel all day long."

Anyways, I'm not sure it qualifies as a "quote" per se, but I'm going to have to go with the short poem, "Lines on Ale".

My favorite is Anabelle Lee. IMO his very finest work, with a macabre Poe twist. Sweet. I have a volume of EAP works behind me right now.

Anyway, I like this one:

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. - Henny Youngman

he also said

My Grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle.​

I'm reading this interesting book called, The Search for God and Guinness by Stephen Mansfield, which is a history of the Guinness family, and also a history of the importance that beer played in early Christianity (Basically up til the anti-german sentiment of wwI)

There's some great quotes from theologians like Martin Luther, Calvin, and this one from St. Arnold (One of the Patron Saints of beer)

"From Man's sweat and God's love, beer came into the world."

My wife got that for me for Christmas!

Looking forward to reading it.

In response to the OP, I liked the quote inside the cover of Designing Great Beer by Ray Daniels.
