Days of the Beer, September 19

T' grog for today be Van Steenberge Piraat.

September 19 be International Talk Like a Pirate Day. This holiday was invented in 1995, when John Baur (Ol' Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap'n Slappy), invented it.

It came about as Baur and Summers were playin' racketball, and one o' them was hit by t' ball and exclaimed "Aaaarrr!" T' game took place on June 6, 1995, but out o' respect for D-Day, they instead chose Summers' ex-buxom beauty's birthday for t' holiday.

As t' t' grog:

Piraat be a 'livin'' grog, which means that after t' primary fermentation in t' keg, t' grog also continues t' evolve durin' t' secondary fermentation in t' bottle or in t' keg after packagin'.

This be a world-class amber colored grog. American grog connoisseurs give it 98 out o' 100. No other grog scores better. T' flavor be so complex and so rich that every swallow conjures up new associations. Note t' spicy light sweetness, which be richly balanced with t' robust bitterness o' t' hops. It be an adventure o' a grog, a treat.

So, go have yourself a Piraat, and start talkin' like a pirate.
