Beer 101 – Beer Glassware – Wiezen Glasses
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
Bite like a serpent..stings like an adder.
Last week I wrote about saying the phrase, “I need a beer.” Then a few days ago, I came across this passage in my morning reading. Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who tarry long over wine; those who go to [...]
We’re on the Facebooks!
For all you social media fanatics out there, I decided to create a Facebook page for theBeerean.com. So now all the tens of Christians that read this blog have a place to be social on the interwebs. Head on over and become a fan…or like it…or whatever Facebook is calling it this week.
Are you a drunkard?
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 [...]
“I need a beer.” – Where do you find your satisfaction?
Sometimes it’s the smallest phrases that can show some of our deepest sins. I think this is the case with the phrase, “I need a beer.” We’ve all experienced one of those days where everything seems to go wrong. You wake up late (or too early), there’s no hot water in the shower, there’s no milk for cereal (worst, it’s sour), you’re [...]
If you aren’t subscribed to Stuff Christians Like, you need to be. Jon’s satirical view on the Christian subculture is amazing. With pin point accuracy, he deconstructs the stupid trends in the Christian Ghetto. Today he decided to tackle the subject of finding out if a friend drinks beer too. With the majority of Christian’s in America being against drinking [...]
This is the last week on how to store your beer. So far we’ve looked at avoiding light and extreme temperatures. This time we take a look at how soon you should drink your beer.
Unlike other alcoholic beverages, beer will go bad with time. It has a shelf life. This is why some breweries have put clear born on dates on the labels of their beverages. They want their consumer to know how long ago their beer was made. The fresher your beer the better flavor you are going to get from it.
Our good friend Clayton Bell posted today asking for more content on the net that is produced for Christians. He used theBeerean.com as an example of just this. But he ended his post with the question: Am I asking for the type of content that will continue to entrench Christians in our own little ghetto? I would have to say [...]
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 [...]
As I was sitting here enjoying my day off, some quick thoughts came to mind. so I thought I would share them with you. I have been looking forward to today all week. My job at UPS has been CRAZY! I was ready for it to be Friday on Tuesday (yeah that bad). We’re going to Shannon’s boss’s house tonight [...]
Happy 4th of July everyone. This week we took a look at what temperature to store your beer to keep it from losing flavor. I think we can all agree that the easiest is to just keep it in a nice cold refrigerator. But what about those times when you can’t store it in your fridge (like when your frig is already full of beer)?
Most people can tell you what ABV stands for when it comes to beer (alcohol by volume), but a little less known term is IBU’s. International Bittering Units are used to describe how much bitter content is in a beer derived from hops in the brewing process. Depending on where you look, IBU’s are either determined by how much isohumulone [...]
Yes you are reading the above graphic right. This is a beer tasting being hosted by a church. Now I don’t know much more than what you see above. But Brad Ruggles sent me this so I had to share. I don’t know about you, but I think beer tasting should replace potlucks as the main staple for church functions. [...]
For next three weeks, we are going to learn some simple tips for how to store your beer. This week we take a look at how light affects your beer while it is being stored.
The simplest thing to remeber when it comes to storing your beer is tha
I wish I could say that the first time I tasted beer that the heavens opened up and that I heard angels sing. The reality was quite the opposite. It was more like the can opened and I began to cringe. Most kids get their first sip of a beer from their dad before they’re even able to read. My [...]
You’ve heard if from me before if you truly want to enjoy your beer, you have to drink it from a glass.  A beer glass is more than a transport device to get the beer from point a (not in your mouth) to point b (in your mouth). It allows the beer to engage all of your senses. It [...]
Here is the reality. Most beers are served too cold and this is a bad thing. I remember growing up and seeing signs at the local bars that said, “Coldest beer in town.” The only problem with this is that most beers aren’t meant to be served at super frigged levels. By drinking your beer extremely cold, it does two things.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about how I could care less what a legalist thinks about my drinking habit. In fact I would go to the point of taking a shot in front of one. But I think there are definitely situations where we need to abstain from alcohol. Drink for any amount of time (shot you don’t even [...]
As I’ve stated on this blog before, it isn’t a sin for a person to drink beer. But it doesn’t take very much time in the bible to figure out that getting intoxicated is a sin. The abuse and overuse of alcohol does constitute as a disconnection between us and Jesus. So this poses the question, “How many beers can [...]
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 [...]
