Benjamin Franklin once said that "beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy".

I am not much of a beer drinker but one beer drinking episode comes to mind when I contemplate on the best beer I ever had. Does anyone remember an incredibly rainy day when it was cold; you were all wet, eating something hot and bad for you, having a relaxed laugh with nowhere to be and not a care of what the time was. That was my best beer ever!

Beer in the shower after a long day is noteworthy too. Nothing tastes better than a cold beer when you had a long stressful day. I don’t realize how much I love the stuff until I go home tired and open the fridge for a drink. Having a beer at 1am, when I have finished working 16 hours straight is always my favorite moment of the day. Ah… after work beer is really sweet!

Beer is the most formidable social lubricant. I wouldn’t mind being stranded four hours in a mangrove creek – waiting for the incoming tide, chatting away with my best buds and drinking that exquisite amber liquid.

On the road, beer always seems to taste better. Having sat on a bus for about six hours, it is always a relief to stop over for a beer. Beer tastes classic.  Moving around in the middle of the day, without a wisp of air movement, can be hellish. A cold beer puts a smile on my face. I always try as many different beers as possible on the trip as long as I am not driving.

    If you ever get the chance, try a pit of Tennent Ice Cold – really hits the spot.

    Good story … really whets one’s appetite ;)

    the best beer i ever had was after a grueling football match … it was at that time that I came to know how satisfying and what a terrific thirst quencher beer is … though gatorade or a sport drink is required for rehydration as well :)

    I wanted to write a piece about good beer but your piece takes away the real need to do it.
    Well done!
    And I can tell because I’m real beer lover!

    I used to try to drink beer because my friends did but I could never stand the taste and I gave up on it. I do love red wine though.

    I remember my great bottle of beer when I was months locked on the training camp as a police recruit then we bolted out through the middle of a night to spend our first hard earned salary on a beer pub out of town. The thing was our tactical officer owned the pub.
