So no beers have been poured, no foods paired, and no theology discuseed among the PUB ministry in a few months now. Since we had to enforce new rules and practices into keeping the integrity of the group we lost some key people, and then with others moving away the PUB ministry is currently inactive.So...I am going to taste a beer each week, solo. :(I am going to share something I have learned,

This weekend was another New Belgium night for the PUB Ministry. After trying their traditional Fat Tire Ale last weekend we moved on to a bright and fairly hoppy pilsener. The Blue Paddle was recommended to be paired with grilled summer corn. But because it is neither summer, nor any weather in which we wanted to grill, we did not have this pairing, and were actually pairingless this weekend

Another week, another beer, another pairing, and the launch of the new books! This was an action packed Sunday for the PUB Ministry. First off we had a classic favorite for many fans of the amber ale genre. From the Colorado based New Belgium Brewery we satisfied our palates with their staple "Fat Tire Ale". This was a very balanced ale that we paired up with the slightly richer flavors connected

So this past Sunday we experienced one of the seasonal ales by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. This was a great brew called "Big Foot Ale" and was a nice malty barleywine style of beer.The whole bodied maltiness was balanced by its bittersweet hops flavor. A little too dark for some with barley sediments floating about this beer is for those with more advanced palates.We paired this beer with sharp

This past Sunday as a celebration to the Colts beating the Bears the PUB group met once again! Ok it wasn't really a celebration but it was after the big game. This week we sampled a beer from Holland called 'Grolsch' named after the town in which it has been brewed since 1615. The cool thing is that it was a pop-top! Meaning it had a plastic and rubber top held in with some metal brackets that

In the post "We are not alone!" we mentioned about The Journey, a church in St. Louis, Missouri. This is a church that has a portion of their ministry that meets at a local bar to discuss theology, and some of the participants do purchase and imbibe alcohol while participating in the group. This is to say though, that is not mandatory for their group, nor does the church prohibit, it simply

James Gregory is a good friend of mine and also a fellow bible scholar who also incidentally graduated from Simpson University with me! A true scholar James spent a great deal of time delving into the issues of alchohol a while ago and I am pleased to present to you a link of all the blogs he wrote in reverse order (so scroll to the bottom then move up as you go)So with no further ado here is his

Christianpost.com tells us that in Missouri we have a sister concept in action! Please give your prayers out to this church, The Journey as they fight the divide that may become a public battle for us one day. ST. LOUIS (AP) - A new church is attracting members with unconventional methods such as pouring beer during theological discussions, but Southern Baptists say the outreach runs contrary to

So this past Sunday, the Pub Ministry gathered at the apartment and we partook of a very interesting ale, and communion as well. Last week we discussed the future of the group, and the steps we needed to take in order to really be a ministry and a pub church if you would. The 1st step we decided on was that we needed to participate in disciplines of worship. Matt, one of our Pub Ministry "Six

This last Sunday "The 6 Pack" gathered at the local watering hole (okay, our little apartment we meet at) and we discussed chapter 17 of Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality. It was based on the concept of worship and we discussed how we felt we should approach a discipline of worship as part of our weekly meeting. Ideas were thrown about, and no beer
