About 4000 years ago, it was the
accepted practice in Babylonia that for
a month after the wedding, the bride's
father would supply his son-in-law with
all the mead he could drink. Mead is a
honey beer, and because their calendar
was lunar based, this period was called
the "honey month" or what we know to day
as the "Honey moon"
Before
invention of the thermometer, brewers
used to check the temperature by dipping
their thumb, to find whether appropriate
for adding Yeast. Too hot, the yeast
would die. This is where we get the
phrase " The Rule of the Thumb" In
English pubs, ale is ordered by pints
and quarts. So in old England, when
customers got unruly, the bartender used
to yell at them to mind their own pints
and quarts and settle down. From where
we get "mind your own P's and Q's".
After consuming a vibrant
brew called Aul or Ale, the Vikings
would go fearlessly to the battlefield,
without their armour, or even their
shirts. The "Berserk" means "bear shirt"
in norse, and eventually to the meaning
of wild battles.
Way
down in 1740, the Admiral Veron of the
British fleet decided to water down the
navy's rum, which naturally, the sailors
weren't pleased with. They nicknamed the
Admiral Old Grog, after the still stiff
grogram coats he used to wear. The term
grog soon began to mean the watered down
drink itself. When you are drunk on this
this grog, you are "groggy", a word
still in use. Long
ago in England, pub
frequenters had a whistle baked into the
rim of their beer mugs or ceramic/glass
cups. The whistle was used to order
services. Thus we get the phrase, "wet
your whistle".

Our Lager, which
art in barrels, hallowed be thy drink,
Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk?), at
home as in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head, and forgive
us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us,
And lead us not to incarceration, but
deliver us from hangovers,
For thine is the Beer, the Bitter and the
Lager,
Forever and ever. Barmen.
