Dear The Orf,
I owe you an apology:
I am sorry that I pretended to understand you.
I am sorry that I pretended to understand as you explained the difference between any beer that I’d ever tasted and beer in the Czech Republic.
I was interested, I promise, but I didn’t truly understand you as you spoke about how “Budweiser” was simply an aborted rip off of a Czech budovar.
I did indeed think I was catching a bit of your poetic waxing about the ancient reinheitsgebot purity laws, but I did not understand.
I did not understand until that first amber flow of un-pasteurized love first flowed down my throat. Until I tasted a silky smooth entity for the first time. An elixir that reminded me slightly of a mere beverage I had once consumed, a beverage called “beer”.
The Orf, I can only ask for your forgiveness
Please let us all know when The Orf The Younger makes his/her appearance.
Rob

Dear Rob & Jenn,
The Orf takes no offense at your frightful misunderstanding of the divine ways of Czech brewing. How does one describe the face of god to others except to say, "You really should experience it for yourself."?
You can thank that "noble failed experiment," or as F.D.R. called it, the "colossal blunder" of Prohibition for rendering the American palate ignorant of the beauties of good beer. FYI, April 7 was the 75th anniversary of Prohibition, so I hope you celebrated appropriately. I know I did.
A male Orfspring is due in late July.
Prost!
The Orf
