The Brew

The first Thursday of November is the international Stout day and stout is a dark beer made of roasted malt or barley.

Like Frank Zappa puts it, you can’t really be a country unless you have a beer and an airline, it helps if you have kind of football team or nuclear weapon, but at the very least you need a beer. Beer tells a story of the people.

beer is essentially about an alcoholic beverage made from malt and flavoured hops. Beer is one of the oldest known beverages.

From then it has taken on many hues, 1721 the Porter brew was brewed.
