[Ansteorra] [Bryn-gwlad] Lost and Found from BG Fall Championships

[David J. Hughes]

Both the English and the Germans like their beer at the same temperature, that of the beer cellar.  Of course, the German cellars tend to be a bit cooler than the English cellars. Chilled beer is an American perversion. David Gallowglass Benjamin Franklin never wrote or said "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." 
Dr. Franklin was, however, a wine drinker, and he wrote--

   " We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy. The miracle in question was only performed to hasten the operation, under circumstances of present necessity, which required it". --Letter to Abb� Morellet (1779)

Hanse is German.

I don't think they like their beer warm, unlike the English.
