“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” – Benjamin Franklin (kind of) If you get around Christian beer drinkers long enough, someone is bound to bring up the epic quote from Benjamin Franklin above. So it was only a matter of time before I brought it up on theBeerean.com, and what better day than [...]
Valentines Weekend is upon us. Now I know all of you have made big plans for this weekend. You’ve ordered flowers, reservations are made for the spa, and you have a small box with something sparkly on the inside…but what are you going to do for dinner. You could wait an hour for seats at an over-priced restaurant to receive [...]
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 [...]
We’re back BABY!!!!! It’s been over two years since the last Beer Tip of the Week, but we are back and with a vengeance. 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. If [...]
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 [...]
If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it’s missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe. 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 [...]
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 [...]
by Jacob Cates I love my wife. I do! She’s fiercely loyal, stubborn in all the good ways, has a deep, abiding love for the Lord, can attract all sorts of controversy with an innocuous Facebook post. I’m not kidding. We had a date night, as all you men should have with your wives, and she said on her Facebook [...]
