Hello Terry O'Leary, I am thinking that the Irish had bad luck. It must be the luck of the Irish. have a nice day my friend.

Very good. Obviously not Kiwi ale. That always goes straight down the hatch and guaranteed mould free. Regards David in NZ

Sounds like a recipe for "Golder's Green," if you're familiar with that section of London, England! Nice limerick! ~ Gershon

You got me laughing with this one! So, we know that some mold can make us sick, but when it's green it has to be good.

Hi Terry Just dropping by to see how you are. Empty to the bone, those bottles i'm sure. May you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows your dead. As always, I run very deep. Xo
