beer

F/13.0, 1/60, ISO 100.

Day 56 / 365.

Edgar Allan Poe

“Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain —
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.”

Interesting Fact: Beer bottles weren’t invented until 1850. Before then, people have to carry their booze home in a special bucket. ( http://tastiger04.hubpages.com/hub/Fun-Facts-About-Beer )

    Poland has many great beers; I’ve tried Tyskie, it’s very good, but Hevelius is my favorite.

      Yes they do. I haven’t tried Hevelius beer yet but after your comment I will put it on my list to try. Thank you for stopping by and enjoying my work. 🙂

    It most probably was not an Irish man who thought of replacing a bucket of beer with a small bottle.

    Interesting how the bucket is now more associated with after drinking beer nowadays…
