I normally don’t blog on the weekend. But as I was sitting here drinking my Newcastle Brown Ale, I was thinking about how God has truly blessed theBeerean.com in the month-and-a-half that it’s been around. I started theBeerean.com on April 20 and in that time we’ve already had 885 visits, 1925 page views, and 34 subscribers (my goal is to [...]
I know most people have heard about the KISS method (Keep is Simple Stupid). I’m going to call this the KISSS method. My friend Mario shared this concept with me the other night when we got a few drinks together.
He said any time that you go out to get a few drinks to stay with the same style of beer. This will allow you to distinguish the different flavors in a beer from one brand to ano
I just thought I would give you a quick update on what went down with the whole Coyote Ugly v. the First Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, NC. The Charlotte Observer put out an article yesterday wrapping up the story. The Coyote Ugly owner decided to not fight for the location and decided to cancel the lease at the location. The [...]
Have you heard about the church in Charlotte NC that fought to keep a Coyote Ugly Saloon from moving in across the street from them? I first read about it in an article from the Charlotte Observer last week (no I’m not subscribed to the Charlotte Observer…I just have a Google Alert set up to send me anything with the [...]
When you taste beer there are four basic flavors that come out. These aren’t the only flavors in a beer. The taste of a beer can be as simple as a small strings ensemble or as complex as a full orchestra. But the four predominant flavors in a beer are malty, bitter, sour, and skunky.
Just read the following article that I got from this web site. MINOT, N.D. — Jack Crocker, a beer-loving machinist and “part-time Christian,” finally agreed to read Proverbs with wife Reanna. He’s glad he did. “I’m a Proverbs 31 husband all right,” says Jack, then quotes Proverbs 31:6-7: “Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are [...]
Let’s get it clear from the start. Christians can drink alcohol. There are boundaries (be of legal age, don’t get drunk, and don’t get someone else drunk), but ultimately we are free to drink. Alcohol was given to us by God to enjoy, but I think more importantly to spread the gospel. There are those out there that will say [...]
So I woke up a little late today and didn’t have time to write about what I had planned. But I got a suggestion from a faithful reader that I should talk about different types of beers and what makes them different. I had never really thought about focusing on beer itself that much in this blog (except for Beer [...]
Welcome back all my fellow beer drinkers out there. Before we got into the tip this week I introduced you to Gonzo Imperial Porter from the Flying Dog Brewery. It might not have been my cup of tea, but this porter is a 2005 Silver Medal Winner at the Great American Beer Festival (although it didn’t get any ribbons). So give it a chance yourself.
This tip is just a short one for those who are looking for the full experience of their beer. If you remember from
For those of you that follow my posts at gregqualls.com know, Shannon and I are having our first kid in little less than three/four weeks. Being the strategry kinda guy that I am, I know there’s no way I’ll get any quality blogging done during that week, so I think this is the perfect opportunity to try something I’ve been [...]
photo by: maccanti ChristiaNet.com just came out with the results of a poll that they took on their site asking the question, “Does drinking alcohol hurt a Christian’s witness?”. The results I must say were pretty interesting/annoying/dumb/”who said you could have a web site”. To quote the article: Out of 2,300 Christians surveyed, a whopping 66% felt that drinking alcohol [...]
A lot of what I have learned about beer has come friends, podcasts, and the beeradvocate.com. One of the greatest tips I ever learned was from the podcast beerschool.com. It is as follows, it takes three drinks of a beer to really know if you like it (I know I said it was my method in the video. That was a slip and I’m sorry).
This is just a short post for everyone that has been following me on twitter. I originally set out to have separate twitter accounts for this web site and for my personal one. But as this site has developed and as I have developed, I realized that I am one person. So instead of doing two twitter accounts I’m only [...]
photo by: Zeetz Jones As I’ve told you in the past, I’ve been searching the internet daily to find another like-minded blog or web site out there. But to no avail, I have yet to find any other Christian bloggers that openly talk about their love of God and good beer. But as you can imagine, I have found plenty [...]
photo by: chrisscott So I came by the post at www.hailtheale.com about a guy who had his future coffin branded with Pabst Blue Ribbon (you can read the whole story here). Anyways it got me to thinking. What is most important in life? What do I want to be known for? If I had a chance to emblazon something on [...]
