Things to Come…

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, [...]


Beer Tip of the Week - Episode 6 - Keep it the Same Style Stupid

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 [...]


Coyote Ugly decided to give up…

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 [...]


Drink a beer…piss off a legalist.

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 [...]


What’s the difference between an Ale and a Lager?

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 [...]

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 [...]
