When you taste beer there are four basic flavors that come out. These aren’t the only flavors in a beer. The taste of a beer can be as simple as a small strings ensemble or as complex as a full orchestra. But the four predominant flavors in a beer are malty, bitter, sour, and skunky.

So I woke up a little late today and didn’t have time to write about what I had planned. But I got a suggestion from a faithful reader that I should talk about different types of beers and what makes them different. I had never really thought about focusing on beer itself that much in this blog (except for Beer [...]

A lot of what I have learned about beer has come friends, podcasts, and the beeradvocate.com. One of the greatest tips I ever learned was from the podcast beerschool.com. It is as follows, it takes three drinks of a beer to really know if you like it (I know I said it was my method in the video. That was a slip and I’m sorry).

I got a couple of requests for theBeerean.com t-shirts. So here you go. If you would like to purchase a “theBeerean.com” t-shirt, hoodie, or Beer Stein, you can go to cafepress.com/thebeerean. I make a small amount of profit off of each purchase. All proceeds will go to help pay for the site and for planting churches. I’m offering everything at [...]

photo by: plasticpeople For those of you that don’t know, today is Cinco De Mayo (Mexican 4th of July). In my opinion, this is one of the two beer drinkingest holidays of the year (St. Patrick’s Day being the other). I know people get their drink on during other holidays of the year, but that’s just it…they’ll drink anything (beer, [...]

In the last Beer Tip of the Week, I told you why you need to drink you beer from a glass, but how are you suppose to pour your beer into that glass?

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 [...]

For those of you who have been waiting since yesterday afternoon, here is the inaugural Beer Tip of the Week. I know you have been waiting, hoping, and praying for this day. Well it has finally come. For my very first tip, I’m going to give you the tip that changed the world of beer as I know it forever.

The reality is that a Beerean is a word that I made up (Beer + Bereans from the Bible = Beerean). It actually started out as a joke with a friend, but this joke turned into something greater. This lowly word became a label…no, a mantra…no, a way of being (patriotic music begins in the background..light strings and percussion). Too [...]

This has been the thought running through my head this last week, “How do I start a blog?” I don’t mean in the technical aspect. I know how to do that, but I’m more worried about what do you talk about in your first post. Do you just start witting and hope no one notices that it’s your first post? [...]
