"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
I loved that article, especially the premise: we became human because we learned to grow grain in order to make beer.
The Germans call their beer "liquid bread", and when we were there in the 70s, German beer was such a revelation to us because it had substance and taste. We were spoiled for the generic American beers for ever after, so thank God for the microbrewery movement.
I can't drink beer anymore because of the carbonation, but I have fond memories.
Check out the "Beer Theory of Civilization". Makes sense to me. I have a colleague who brews *great beer*. We're trying to figure out a way to finance him a microbrewery.
Beer is, indeed, proof that God loves you and wants you to be happy.
PBR is proof that God even wants the impoverished to have beer, even if it's not particularly good beer. [I've drunk enough of it {before hipsters found it} to know.]
To paraphrase a phrase from the 60s, "Beer will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no beer."
Really Happy N Glad to see your blog, thanks a lot
An academic discipline, or field of study, is a branch of knowledge that is taught and researched at the college or university level. Disciplines are defined (in part), and recognized by the academic journals in which research is published, and the learned societies and academic departments or faculties to which their practitioners belong.
However, there exists no formal criteria for when educational programs and scholarly journals form an academic discipline. A huge difference exists between, on the one hand, well established disciplines that exist in almost all universities all over the world, have a long history and a well established set of journals and conferences, and, on the other hand, suggestions for new fields supported only by few universities and publications. Fields of study usually have several sub-disciplines or branches, and the distinguishing lines between these are often both arbitrary and ambiguous. Post by http://www.howtowritetermpapers.com/blog/

I rarely drink anything alcoholic, but I do enjoy a beer every now and then (or a glass of good stout).

PBR et al demonstrate that the love of God is sometimes constrained.
