Summer is coming. One of the great joys of life is to sit on the porch on a warm summer evening with a beer, and hopefully, someone else with whom to have wonderful conversation. 

“Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer!”

-Martin Luther
