Making the world a better place, one beer at a time.

For each and every one of you, your own appreciation of beer is something deeply personal. The appreciation of Beer is also something that is universal. Beer Church is about the relationship of the two; your personal affection for beer, and humanity's overwhelming love of Beer. Beer Church is a celebration of Beer (with a capital "B"). Beer Church represents the "something larger than yourself" to which you belong by virtue of your very personal love for beer. Beer Church is about the one thing that we all have in common, regardless of all of our other differences. Something we all believe in. Beer.

Any gender, any sexual preference, any nationality, any shoe size or hair style; beer drinkers of the world are all part of something much larger than themselves. They are part of a loosely connected, diverse social group of countless individuals all around the world, with at least one thing in common. Beer. And sure, someone might be able to say the same thing about cheese, or coffee, or many other things, but we didn't. We said it about beer. And because you know the difference, you are one of us. You are Beer Church.

At last count, Beer Church has over 40,000 registered members from 26 different countries around the world.

Just imagine what we can do! The Beer Church Mission Statement

Charity - We intend to expose Beer enthusiasts to, and organize them for the benefit of, various charitable, civic and compassionate causes, offering our members the opportunity to contribute collectively or individually. Although we are primarily a local organization in the Seattle, WA area, we attract the attention of beer enthusiasts around the world with our Web site. We intend to provide an example of the good things that can be done. We believe that beer's worldwide popularity can and should be used to band people together for the benefit of society as a whole.

Civic Responsibility - We believe in promoting responsible fun. Beer should be part of a recipe for positive social activity, but is too often used as part of a recipe for disaster. We urge everyone to be personally responsible all of the time. Anything else is disrespectful of yourself and your community.

The Web site - It is the goal of Beer Church to provide a fun, informative and useful Web site for persons all around the globe who are interested in and passionate about beer. The Web site is an evolving expression of our membership's needs and wishes. All suggestions will be welcomed and sincerely considered so that we may better serve the Beer enthusiasts of the world.

"Alcohol: the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."

[Xenalyte]

wasn't there a song years ago that went "I love beer... it makes me a jolly old fellow"?

That would be "I Like Beer," by Tom T. Hall.

In some of my songs
I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel
And lend me your ears
I like beer.
It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer.
It helps me unwind
And sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
(Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough,
Champagne costs too much,
Vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain
Should help me explain
As a matter of fact I like beer
(He likes beer).

My wife often frowns
When we're out on the town
And I'm wearing a suit and a tie
She's sipping vermouth
And she thinks I'm uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by
I like beer.
It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer.
It helps me unwind
And sometimes it makes me feel mellow.
(Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough,
Champagne costs too much,
Vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain
Should help me explain
As a matter of fact I like beer
(He likes beer).

Last night I dreamed
That I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear
And tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)
I like beer.
It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer.
It helps me unwind
And sometimes it makes me feel mellow
(Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough,
Champagne costs too much,
And vodka puts my mouth in gear
Aw, this little refrain
Should help me explain
As a matter of fact I love beer
(Yes, he likes beer).

Any gender, any sexual preference, any nationality, any shoe size or hair style; beer drinkers of the world are all part of something much larger than themselves.

But at the rate beer drinkers can put on weight, that might not be true long.

Praise Nick! Are we holding services next Thursday?

[bedolido]

thanks friend... I used to hear that song years ago. Some radio person played it everytime someone mentioned beer (I think it was).

[Xenalyte]

Xena's Dad taught it to us when we were very young. Mmmmm, beer!

(Is it time to leave work yet?)

[Allegra]

Praise Nick! Are we holding services next Thursday?

I believe we should. Nachos for the completion of Communion.

[Xenalyte]

Preach it, sista!

Nachos for the completion of Communion

Mmmmmm... nachos.. beer... Hoo Yah! Thursday it is, for great justice!

[r9etb]

Now, that's pretty nifty. Judging from the looks of it, you hook up a garden hose, put the coil into the bucket, and turn on the water, right?

[SJackson]

Couldn’t find any Saudi beer :<(

My personal testament!

[TheSpottedOwl]

THANK YOU! I've been trying to remember the lyrics to that song since I started reading this thread :)

Beer rocks!

[Xenalyte]

Uh, heh heh, heh heh . . . heh heh, heh heh . . . she said "nuts."

[Celtic Conservative]

In the name of the barley,

And the hops,

And the pure, clean water,

Amen
