From the Roman Ritual:
“(”for every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer” - I Tim. iv, 4. 5):”
5. BLESSING OF BEER
P: Our help is in the name of the Lord.
All: Who made heaven and earth.
P: The Lord be with you.
All: May He also be with you.
Let us pray.
Lord, bless + this creature, beer, which by your kindness and
power has been produced from kernels of grain, and let it be a
healthful drink for mankind. Grant that whoever drinks it with
thanksgiving to your holy name may find it a help in body and in
soul; through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.
(The beer is then sprinkled with holy water.)
Is that Real?
(Bibo ergo sum.)
