I sat down the other day with Aaron Burnett to talk about his past addictions, first beers, how he stopped, 12 step-programs and the sort. Aaron is one of the on-air personalities of the “World Famous Buck and Dex Show” here in Albuquerque. He got saved last year and has been sharing his new faith in Jesus ever since. It’s [...]
This weeks Beer 101 is a very helpful infographic I came across a little while back. Sometimes the world of beer can be little confusing if you you’re new to it. I like it because it gives you all this information in one nicely presented place. It also gives some different terminology for different areas of the world. Hope [...]
I don’t know exactly how to say this…I’m getting tired of the smug looks, the condescending tones, the holier-than-thou words, and the Bible gymnastics I get when people tell me about their convictions. This is mostly when someone tells me that they feel convicted to not drink alcohol. Let me clear the air right now…if you are convicted by the Holy Spirit [...]
I’m not a huge fan of modern country music. I grew up with my parents listening Kenny Rodgers and Dolly Parton. So the only country music I like has to be old and have enough twang that it makes you wince a little. Therefore you wouldn’t believe how happy I was to find the song below. Beer Drinking Christians was used in [...]

This week we give you EIGHT tips for setting up a drink table at your next party. Most of us are going to be hosting some form of football event this Sunday. Use one or all of [...]
I had the chance the other day to sit down with Greg Mays. Greg is the author of Simple Cocktails at Home and a Christian. He is a local Albuquerque guy. We originally met through theBeerean and now we go to church together. We talk about the idea behind his book and why a Christian is writing a book about cocktails.

What is ABV? I might be a little weird, but I like to read beer labels. It’s amazing how much information can be found on the side of a bottle of beer. I love to read how brewers like to describe their beer. Some like to be serious, some like to be humorous, and some read like your drinking a [...]
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) So here is the big question…what are your plans for this Sunday? If you haven’t heard yet, there is this really big football game that is going to be happening. [...]
With the Superbowl being only six days away, I thought I would share with you a little video of something you could make for the big day. A BEER FRIDGE CANNON!!!! This thing is awesomeness wrapped in rainbows and dipped in children’s smiles. So the first time you look at this beer fridge cannon, it looks totally fake. But as [...]
[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/19380467[/vimeo] Now You Can Call it a Come Back! from Greg Qualls on Vimeo. I know a few months ago I told you to not a call my return to theBeerean a come back…well things change. I’m going to officially call this a come back. Tell your family. Tell your friends. Tell your coworkers. Even tell that creepy guy jogs [...]
I just wanted to take a quick moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Remember what is most important this season is not the gifts, the time with family, the cool lights, or even the special seasonal ales that your local brewery makes. What is most important this season (and every season) is Jesus. Make [...]
With Christmas time coming and Thanksgiving time right behind, I’ve had several opportunities to spend time with friends and family over a nice cold one. This got me to thinking if you could have a drink with any person in all of history (past or present), who would it be? Mine would have to be the one and only Martin [...]
The Wedding at Cana On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to [...]
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 [...]
