The lager prayer
Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed by thy drink.
They round will come,
I will be drunk,
At home as it is in the Tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us for spillage,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the Stout, the Bitter, and the Pilsner.
Now and forever
Barmen.
