Nothing spells kick back and chill out quite like beer does – it’s effervescent, dense in flavor and above all else, refreshing. For some, it’s an acquired taste; for others, it is as thirst-quenching and necessary as water. Beer is an art as much as it is a science and is as passively as it is religiously appreciated. The following 20 beer quotes sum up just why beer is so essential to human existence and the perfect complement to the experiences therein.
