We’re in our thirties, but we still need our bottles
Fat Tires and 90 Shillings, instead of mother’s milk
amber ales and IPAs dance with livers and dignity
but hey, I like beer,
boys like beer
girls like beer
Supreme Court justices like beer
a few jukeboxes and egos get rearranged
but the buzz isn’t half bad
