We asked Philadelphia’s best and brightest beer drinkers to compose Dr. Seuss-style beer rhymes to commemorate Theodore Geisel’s birthday.
I love to drink my IPA
I love to drink it every day.
Give me those hops, fruity or dank,
from bottle, can or from the tank.
My beer’s superb, though some say bitter
I’ll have one more, ‘for I’m no quitter.

With beer recipes of his own since 1986;
When young aspiring brewers came to join the fray,
Georgie Porgie said, “C’mon let’s play.”

made some beer from an Egyptian list.
Stole another from a Chinese tomb,
been off-centered since the womb.

So I will drink them in a pub.
And I will drink them at a club.
And I will drink them with more hops.
And I will drink them chased with schnapps.
And I will drink them weak or strong.
Say! I will drink them ALL NIGHT LONG!
I do so love
craft beer at home!
Thank you!
Thank you, Sam-Cala-Gione!
