I LOVE craft beer.
Give me all of the unusual names.
The memorable bottle labels.
The odd flavour combinations.
I’m here for it - I’ll try absolutely anything.
In my humble opinion,
Craft beer is the BEST beer.
Hands down, hand-crafted is the way to go.
Somebody worked so damn hard,
Put in a ridiculous amount of hours,
And slapped a real funky label on that bottle
So I could (quite literally)
Savour the moment.
Craft beer tastes like experience feels.
It tastes like Going Out on a Limb.
It tastes like Fear of the Unknown.
It tastes like Self-Discovery.
It tastes like Hearing Your New Favourite Song for the Very First Time.
Like S’mores Around a Campfire.
Like Summer Driving with the Windows Rolled Down.
Craft beer is not afraid to stand out,
And always leaves an impression,
No matter how subtle or sour.
It’s created with passion, love, and determination.
Often with direction…but not always.
Sometimes mistakes can lead to
The very best batches.
If I were a craft beer,
I’d probably care less about everyone liking me
And care more about
Just finding my tribe…
The people who appreciate my subtle notes,
As well as my sour ones.
I’d probably appreciate myself more, too,
And come to think of my life experiences
As my own unique flavour combination
Developed over years of testing, trial, and error.
Hand-crafted, with love, luck, and a bit of hope.
Not trying to be perfect.
Just trying to be myself.
