No, don't have any of that on hand. But I am going to drink that beer I mentioned earlier and make a toast to you!
I usually drink non-alcoholic beer, but I splurged and bought a sampler 12-pack of artisan beers that are brewed in New Glarus, WI, by a husband/wife team. They have labels with little stories about the particular beer. There are 4 of them: Spotted Cow, Fat Squirrel, Moon Man, and the one I'm toasting you with, Two Women. Its label reads, "Four thousand years before Christ, Sumerian women created the divine drink of beer. Viking women brewed in Norse society. European Ale Wives were so successful as cottage brewers they were taxed. Artisanal women lost their domination of the daily ritual of brewing during the Industrial Revolution. Today's brewing trade is controlled by men. The collaboration of two Craft companies both led by women, New Glarus Brewing and Weyermann Malting, is unique. You hold the result "Two Women" a Classic Country Lager brewed with Weyermann's floor malted Bohemian malt and Hallertau Mittelfrueh hops. A tempting and graceful classic lager found... Only in Wisconsin!
So here's mud in your eye, from one tempting and graceful woman to another!
