| Beer Quotes |
Jim's York Pub Guide |
I must admit, I resisted this page for a while. It
seems every other Home Page has a list of favourite quotes in an effort to make
the site "interesting", "witty" or "amusing",
when actually it's just boring, unoriginal and tedious. But if it wasn't for
boring, unoriginal and tedious, we wouldn't drink, and where's the fun in that!
I've kept quotes to ones I hadn't heard before, and if you have any similar, please send them on.

Until I felt a filthy swine
For loathing beer and liking wine,
And rotten to the very core
For thinking village inns a bore,
And village bores more sure to roam
To village inns than stay at home.
John Betjeman
When drinking, I used to feel I'd go into the 'phone box and come out like Superman. Unfortunately, I never got out of the 'phone box. - James Taylor
We will have no more of innkeeping. I have been sick and tired of it this many a day, and care not now to see men abuse good liquor and addle their silly pates to fill my purse. - J. M. Falkner
The troubles of our proud and angry dust
Are from eternity, and shall not fail.
Bear them we can, and if we can we must.
Shoulder the sky, my lad, and drink your ale.
A. E. Housman.
Most regional breweries are patronised
by people who knit their own yoghurt.
City analyst I heard on Radio 5
Hangovers, while being pushed intothe background
by the drink, were also being fuelled.
They were now so potentially big as to be genuinely feared. They would not stop
drinking until they had to face the music, and that was when every bit of adrenalin
had been burned away.
Irving Welsh, Trainspotting
You know what alcoholics call New Year's
Eve? Amateur night.
Elmore Leonard
"What'll you have Normie?"
"Well, I'm in a gambling mood Sammy. I'll take a glass of whatever comes out
of the tap."
"Looks like beer Norm."
"Call me Mister Lucky."
"Hey Mr. Peterson, there's a cold one waiting
for you."
"I know. If she calls, I'm not here."
"Beer, Norm?"
"Have I gotten that predictable? Good."
"What's going on Mr. Peterson?"
"A flashing sign in my gut that says, 'Insert beer here.'"
"Women. Can't live with 'em...pass the beer nuts."
"What's going down, Normie?"
"My butt cheeks on that bar stool."
"Pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?" "Alright, but stop me at one...make that one-thirty."
"Can I pour you a beer Mr. Peterson?"
"A little early isn't it, Woody?"
"For a beer?"
"No, for stupid questions.

drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. --Ernest Hemingway
