Charlies Corner Beer Quotes:
...hot beer is excellent for keeping the stomach in good order for concoction, and consequently good health; so it is most excellent for the quenching of thirst. For I have not known thirst since I have used hot beer let the weather never be so hot, and my work great. Cold beer is very pleasant when extreme thirst is in thy stomach; but that is more dangerous to thy health. Many by drinking a cup of cold beer in extreme thirst have taken a surfeit and killed themselves. Therefore we must not drink cold beer
-Henry Overton,
