PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Enjoying the tartness 

of a Cantillion Kriek

& I remember touring the brewery

when I was in Brussels

It was interesting going through

the old building

& seeing the flat vats

where the airborne yeasts

instigated fermentation.

The Belgians are superstitious

And won’t disturb spider webs 

It lent a gothic touch to the tour.

I remember having to duck

under some spider webs.

Someone wondered

if the spiders or webs got into the beer

and seemed perturbed

but spiders are loaded with protein

so I am told.

Maybe that can be

a new advertising pitch:

Sell the Arachnid goodness

 of the brand—

a new trendy thing

and one more reason to drink.
