Stout Haiku

Wednesday, April 19th, 2006

I recently found a pretty cool site named Beer Haiku Daily. The name pretty much tells you exactly what the site is. It's a collection of haikus, one per day, about beer. In honor of this site, I have crafted my own haiku about my favorite type of beer, the ...
