Brewed in the Beginning
by Paul Charbonneau
Once upon a time
when hops and barleys courted
they made a date for Halloween.
While swooning over their match,
heavenly made, they came face to face
with the Great Pumpkin Itself.
Trembling with awe,
they felt themselves foam
into a mighty Double IPA,
and poured their hearts out
into that giant cavernous gourd
to be forever labeled
in cities and towns
on poor farms and at fancy bars,
the best pour of Octoberfest.
