Today, of course, is the birthday of Theodore Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss. 
A few weeks ago my kids were on a Dr. Seuss kick and we read quite a few 
of his books multiple times, with Green Eggs & Ham emerging as the 
family favorite. I was playing around with the words one night, as I 
often do, and decided to see if I could come with a beer-themed parody 
of the book. So here is the result, /Craft Beer & Ale/, by Dr. J. Enjoy!

    CRAFT BEER & ALE

That Sam's upscale.
That Sam regales.
I do not like that Sam wholesale!

Say! I like craft beer & ale!
I do! I like them, Sam, you prevail!
And I would drink them with more barley.
And I would drink with homebrew Charlie...

And I will drink them while I dine.
And in a glass. And in a stein.
And in a bar. And with some cheese.
They are so good, so good, you see!

So I will drink them in a pub.
And I will drink them at a club.
And I will drink them with more hops.
And I will drink them chased with schnapps.
And I will drink them weak or strong.
Say! I will drink them ALL NIGHT LONG!

I do so love
craft beer at home!
Thank you!
Thank you, Sam-Cala-Gione!
