Half & Half

The perfect beer. About 15 years ago I went to NYC with a coast guard Lieutenant. One night he took me down to the financial district to a little place called Liquid Assets. The proprietor was an old Marine so we got along grand. Upstairs he had a banquet hall decked out for all his old buddies with emblems of warriors. He made me a half & half that day with Guinness beer and since then I've counted it as the perfect beer. There is an old Irish song that is credited to St Brigid about a lake of beer. May the shallows be Harp and the depths be Guinness

I would like to have the men of Heaven in my own house: With vats of good cheer laid out for them. I would like to have the three Marys, their fame is so great. I would like people from every corner of Heaven. I would like them to be cheerful in their drinking, I would like to have Jesus too here amongst them. I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings, I would like to be watching Heaven's family, drinking it through all eternity. attributed to St. Brigid
