When I think about going out and getting a nice cold-one, I always picture it in a pint glass.  In my mind, the pint glass is the most universal of all beer glasses.  Almost every bar I’ve been in….actually ever bar I’ve been in uses a pint glass to serve their beer in it. There are a lot of reasons [...]

Thanks to Fr. Daniel.  I came across this hilariously sad story about a christian couple who took over the management of a pub in London.  The couple, “banned gambling on horse racing, took down the dart board and put up a sign outside the tavern reading “No Swearing.””  First, it’s not a sin to be a manager or owner of [...]

I have to say thanks to Clayton, CJ, and Ross for their help last week while I took some vacation time to spend with Shannon and Asa.  It was great knowing that I didn’t have to worry about this blog while I was enjoying time with family. If you missed the posts, here is a quick recap. Clayton Bell reminded [...]

They live in Tallahassee, FL and are campus ministers at THE Florida State University with Every Nation Campus Ministries. I was at a bachelor party about a year [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Photo by: rick With my recent post on how Christians that love beer are called to be missionaries to the world of beer, I thought I would give you some quick tips on how to be a missionary at your local bar. Leave a big tip. In the words of one of my friends, “Your Father owns the cattle on [...]

photo by: Penningtron I got an email from Brad Ruggles (of BradRuggles.com go check him out) asking the following questions: On a side-note, have you thought about reviewing any micro-breweries around the country or having readers submit reviews? I came across a neat one in Nashville when I was there a couple of weeks ago that I might hit again [...]

Here is the reality. If you are a Christian that loves beer, you are a minority. Sorry to break the news to you. But it’s true. The tag line for the site is clear evidence for this. Ever since I had the idea for this blog, I have been scouring the internet for another blog like mine. I want to [...]
