As the name states, a wiezen glass is designed to make drinking wiezen (wheat) beers more enjoyable. Often confused as pilsner glasses, wiezen glasses have a lot of the same characteristics. They are tall and slender….and um….made out of glass and hold beer. Ok that’s about it.

Everything else is different about wiezen glasses. Wiezen glasses are larger than pilsner glasses. While most pilsner glasses hold 12oz of beer, a wiezen glass will actually hol

Are you a drunkard?  I wouldn’t be quick to say no.  In fact, I hope one day I will earn the title of drunkard. The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ (Luke 7:34 ESV) Everywhere you look in the book [...]

So I just recently inherited a kegerator from a friend of a friend. This might sound weird to some, but I actually got it as a ministry opportunity. This summer I’m planning on hosting several BBQ’s and poker tournaments at my house to get to know my neighbors. Nothing is a better conversation starter than a nice cold one. So I got the kegerator as an opportunity to always have some beer on tap.

What are hops?  You hear about them all the time in the world of beer.  You hear about beers that have double the hops.  There are even tripple hop beers now too.  It’s one of the basic ingredients of beer, but it seems that everyone assumes that you know what a hop is. Hops are actually the female flower cluster [...]

With Christmas and New Years approaching fast, I thought I should give everyone a simple reminder. There are going to be a lot of opportunities to enjoy some good spirits with friends and family.

I love having a nice beer while hanging out with family waiting for the bird to cook. A glass of wine goes so well with dinner when it’s ready too. You also can’t forget about toasting in the New Year. Alcohol and this time of the year just seem to go together. Everyone seems to be offering you another beer or glass of wine or egg nog or peppermint schnops or Irish coffee or glass of scotch (I’m getting thirsty).

Honestly, there is this weird tension in me right now. I’m sad that I’m saying goodbye to being the main contributor on this blog, but I feel a since of relief. As you can probably tell, I haven’t had the time to devote to this blog as I did when I first started it several months ago. Because of that, I’ve become overly guilty and stressed. I love beer, and I love the friends that I’ve made through this blog.

What’s the best way to ultimately enjoy your beer. The only way you can truly enjoy your beer is if beer isn’t your ultimate joy. What this weeks Beer Tip of the Week for more on this thought.

I’m sitting at the MVD waiting for my number to be called bored out of my mind. So I thought I would pose the question that has been rattling in my mind the past few days. Did Jesus ever get a buzz? I think we would all agree that Jesus drank. It’s hard to be accused as a drunkered if [...]

As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. – 1 Timothy 6:17 Paul drops this simple phrase at the end of this verse like a bomb on my feeble mind. Everything that God [...]

We all know the story.  Jesus is a huge wedding party.  People are eating and drinking and having a great time. But all the sudden the booze start running low.  Jesus’ mom pleads with him to help out. Jesus being the man that he is takes over 100 gallons of water and turns it into the best wine these people [...]

What should you do with your beer that has gone bad? It might be the death of you to drink it, but it still has the ability to give some life.

If you were only able to buy one kind of beer glass, I would recommend getting a pint glass.  But next on my list would be a pilsner glass. In fact, I don’t even own a pint glass right now. I only own pilsner glasses (my wife has promised me she is going to remedy this very shortly ). In [...]

I mentioned on Twitter last night that my beer supply is dangerously low, and my paycheck is a ways off. This seems to be a trend in my life here lately. I either run out of beer or like this week the beer I have isn’t that tasty (three bottles of Newcastle that went bad and a couple of beers [...]

Had to go short and sweet this week. I have a lot on my plate right now. But I hope this tip is helpful to everyone out there.

Here is an interesting thought. The fact that we actually have the physical capacity to enjoy the food we eat and the beer we drink is a sign that God wants us to enjoy them. Watch the video for more thoughts on this.
