We are THERE.

Would the Night of a Thousand Beers become a regular celebration for our High Holy Days?

Here is the highest prayer in the Beer Church

THE BEER PRAYER

Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink,
Thy will be drunk,
(I will be drunk),
At home as I am in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us,
and lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers,
For thine is the beer,
The bitter and the lager,
Forever and ever,
Barmen.

1 - If the beer smells dreadful that means it's cheap crappy beer, in the common parlance: skunky beer. Skunky beer is to be foisted off on young members of the clan, it helps discourage their natural curiousity about booze
2 - The list of things that make people act really stupid is long and includes members of the opposite sex, avoiding those things can be bad for survival of the clan

We drink it because we have better taste than you.

I like your style, and that's a compliment from a Pottsville native.

We may have some splits on the congregation - the Stouts vs. the Lagers, Lambics vs. Pilsners, etc.

The official prayer of The Order of the Bottle, a religion created by me in 1972 when I had a lot of time on my hands over a period of a few days:

Our Father, who art in the Bottle,
Hallowèd be thy spirits
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
In the bars as in the taverns
Give us this day our daily booze
And forgive us our sobrieties
As we would forgive those who are also sober
For thine is the brewery, the distillery, and the drunken stupor
For ever and ever
Burp!

I had a list of Tenets too, but lost them decades ago.

As you can well imagine, I'm still the only member.

1) It smells utterly dreadful and 2) it makes people act really stupid.

If it smells bad, you've got a bad batch. And if you don't like the smell of good ol' lager, there's always porter, stout, bitter or pilsner for starters.

I'm at a loss as to why anyone would ever drink it...

"Tastes great!"
"Less filling!"

This is a good place to show off my new, homemade counterflow chiller! It cools boiling beer wort to 80 degrees in one pass. Just add hops and yeast.

Well, I like your local brew. It was one of the things I missed most in my two years out in Colorado, lost in the land of Coors Light.
