“Charlie Mopps”

Description

"A long time ago... all they had to drink was nothing but cups of tea." Then came Charlie Mopps, who invented beer. This brought him great praise and even a ticket into heaven. "Lord bless Charlie Mopps, the man who invented beer!"

Notes

The amount of truth in this song is, to put it mildly, limited. - RBW
