He is a wise man who invented beer. 
                                               --Plato

We agree with Plato. Whoever is truly responsible for beer, we give them cheers. And in honor of good words in support of good drink – namely beer – we honor hops with an homage to the drink with these quotes. If you are a craft beer aficionado, or simply just love a cold brew, we’ve found a few good beer quotes from a few good men – and women – that we want to serve.

From man’s sweat and God’s love, beer came into the world. 
-- Saint Arnold of Metz, the Patron Saint of Brewers

Beer, it’s the best damn drink in the world. 
-- Jack Nicholson, actor

Beer, if drank with moderation, softens the temper,

cheers the spirit and promotes health.
  
-- Thomas Jefferson, Third President of the United States

Blessed is the mother who gives birth to a brewer. 
-- Czech saying

Well a person can work up a mean, mean thirst 
after 
a hard day of nothin' much at all. 
-- Here Comes A Regular, The Replacements  

God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer. 
-- Anne Sexton, American Writer

“What do you think
/The bravest drink/Under the sky?”

“Strong beer,” said I. 
- Robert Graves poem, “Strong Beer”

There are many great words penned about the glories of beer. In fact, there is a book available, called “The Poetry of Beer.” You could even crack it open with an ice cold brew or two.
