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 [...]

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 [...]
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
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 [...]
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 [...]
As things are starting up here at theBeerean.com, I want to broaden our horizons as a beer drinking family. I hope that you don’t judge me too harshly, but there are times I just don’t feel like a beer. The meal or the moment just call for something a little harder/sweeter/smoother/warmer/etc. Therefore I reach for the spirits. I have a feeling I’m not the only one that feels this way. So I’m occasionally going to share some thoughts and tips on the harder stuff.
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 [...]
So how do start a blog up again? What should your first “real” post be about? I started theBeerean.com on April 20th, 2008 with one simple thought in mind. There needs to be a blog for Christians who like beer. My ultimate hope with the blog would be that:
It has been almost a year-and-a-half since my last post on theBeerean.com. Jesus has been good to me in this time though. I’ve done a lot and grown a lot as a Christian, husband, father, and friend. But in all that time, don’t think that I ever forgot about theBeerean.com.
I’ve kept the site up and watched to see what w
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).
