Chorus:
Here's to beer that tastes like beer!
An amber glass of wholesome cheer
A noble brew that has no peer
Beer that tastes like beer!

For centurys the brewers craft
Produced the most exquisite draft
When he brews with what he oughter
Barley malt, hops, yeast and water.

[chorus]

Let cheese be cheese and bread be bread
Don't serve us soap or sponge instead
While sausages may cause some fear
For goodness sake let beer be beer!

[chorus]

Among the most requested favors
Please avoid exotic flavors
Fruits and nuts and spices queer
Have no place in honest beer!

[chorus]

Oh stay the bung don't drive the spile
On concoctions rank with adjuncts vile
Cornflakes, rice and rats from sewers
Fine for cooks but not for brewers!

[chorus]

So stick with what is good and true
A beery tasting, smelling brew
Then you'll earn our highest rating
Refreshing yet intoxicating!

[chorus]
