Quote- Thomas Tusser

Seeth grain in more water, while grains be yet hot,

And stirre them in copper as poredge in pot,

Such heating with straw, to make offal good store,

Both pleseth and easeth, what would you have more?

-Thomas Tusser

Quote- Her ale

Her ale, if new, looks like a misty morning, all thick; well, if her ale be strong, her fire good, her face fair, and the town great or rich, she shall seldom sit without chirping birds to bear her company, and at the next christening, she is sure to be rid of two or three dozen cakes and ale by gossiping neighbors.

Quote- A Glass of Old English Ale

 They talk about their foreign wines – Champagne and bright Moselle-

And think because they’re from abroad, that we must like them well,

And of their wholesome qualities they tell a wondrous tale;

But sour or sweet, they cannot beat a glass of old English Ale.

D’ye think my eye would be as bright, my heart as light and gay,

If I and “old John Barleycorn” did not shake hands each day?

No, no; and though teetotalers at malt and hop may rail

At them I’ll laugh and gaily quaff of old English Ale.

-J. Caxton, from the song “a Glass of Old English Ale”

Beer Quote:

 



“Oh a very sorry people yes, did I find here, for they had no music and they had no beer.

And oh every where were they tried to perch, belonged to Castle Sugar Incorporated or the Catholic Church.”

-Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

Johnny Depp Quote

I'm an old-fashioned guy... I want to be an old man with a beer belly sitting on a porch, looking at a lake or something. -Johnny Depp
