I like the occasional beer especially on a HOT summer's day but I normally associate the brew with 'rugger buggers' in their sweaty grass stained shorts.
To find a brew master who is amusing and has the gift of POETIC description is totally amazing. He is absolutely worth the accolade of appreciation that you have bestowed upon him (probably a her??)
I'm also a cancer survivor ( no hair loss involved as the melanoma was removed at an early stage )
Keep on keeping on and God bless you.
