Beer required Hops from foriegn parts, that mostly spoke French. No true Englishman would drink an imitation Ale spawned by the frogs, their social and sexual habits are the subject of a separate discussion.

The introduction of Hops was the start of the descent to Gordon Brown and the death of Old England.

Ugly women created beer. It gives them a chance at reproduction.

Kent (which produces Kent Goldings hops) and Worcestershire have long produced hops.

There are very few English occupational surnames that have a feminine ending: Brewster, Webster and Baxter. (Spinsters weren’t supposed to have children.) But since there are Brewers, Weavers and Bakers, men must have been allowed into the trade at some point.

You might have noticed that Hops were introduced when the Dutch King Willy was imposed upon England. A foul, foul time, thank God my family had departed Gloustershire for the New World years earlier, we did have a problem brewing with corn, the Scots solved that, though it took a few years.

Men invented various medications to treat delusional systems.

...and they invented beer as an anesthetic against their main delusional system: wives.

In the process, they also discovered that the beer overloaded their own deluginal system.

That eventually led to the necessary invention of indoor plumbing, and then came the endless delusional fights about the proper toilet seat position. *<];-')

Men owe woman for alot more than just Beer.

As that old saying goes..

Behind every successful Man.......
there's a woman spending his money.
And...
I was in love with a Beautiful Blond once, she drove me to drink.
That's the one thing I'm indebted to her for.
Take my wife...... Please.

I normally don't get too riled up by gender warfare and those promoting it, but when they intersect with beer, one of the great loves of my life, THEY HAVE GONE TOO FAR!
