Beat or Beer

[kurtz]

I guess I like literature as well as beer and in my research came across this little gem, if you like it I send some more though not from the same author:

Many of you know of my mate Brett the
Brewer and if at times such as this it is
possible to be serious then I will do my
best to do so. Of course any yeast or
bacteria that’s makes its way into your beer
unwanted is to be avoided but I have
become interested in those beers that do
have guests, though invited. Part of my
reading and research led me to a French
“beat” brewer/poet/drinker (its hard to
tell), Alain Mont de Genievre, who in 1956
(yes the year I was born) wrote about these
crazy beers in a free form prose piece
about beer, “The Cry of the Hidden Wolf”,
which is far to long and far too whacky to
publish here in its entirety….here is an
extract
“I saw the best beers, in fermentation
destroyed by wild yeasts, starving
hysterical naked yeasts, dragging
themselves through the dark worts at dawn
looking for a maltose fix. Enterobacteric
hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
coolships to the starry dynamo in the
machinery of night ,whirling swinging
singing hops and hollow-eyed and high sat
up lautering in the supernatural darkness of
cold-air chillers across the tops of Senne”

i also am a lover of words.

there was Rangy Bill from Laver's Hill..
he just blew into town..
with his d!ck wrapped up in a well oiled rag..
and the skin of his arse burnt brown..

it was down to the local Pub he went..
he said ' I'll have a shag and a pint of beer '
the Barmaid looked at Bill with a face so grim and severe..
she said blah blah blah blah...

got about another 14 verses.
