Chorus Here’s to beer that tastes like beer! An amber glass of wholesome cheer A noble brew that has no peer Beer that Tastes Like Beer! For centuries the brewers craft Produced the most exquisite draft When he brews with what he oughter Barley malt, hops, yeast and water. Let cheese be cheese and bread be bread Don’t serve us soap and cake instead While sausages may cause some fear For goodness sake let beer be beer! Among the most requested favors Please avoid exotic flavors Fruits and nuts and spices queer Have no place in honest beer! Oh stay the bung don’t drive the spile On concoctions rank with adjuncts bile Cornflakes, rice and rats from sewers Fine for cooks but not for brewers So stick with what is plain and true A beery tasting smelling brew Then you’ll earn our highest rating Refreshing yet intoxicating!
