Beer Church is better than your church
How do your underpants effect your happiness? What does it mean to be punk rock? Is it creepy to sleep with someone more than ten years older/younger than you? Is there a god, and if so, why does she kill puppies? What does the inside of your nose smell like? What came first, the color orange or the fruit orange? Is there a way out of that Iraq mess? What influence will the new pope have on the Catholic church, and society in general? Under what conditions would you accept a used mattress? And of course sex... lots of talk about sex
These are just a few of the issues that we have addressed in our weekly Beer Church gatherings. If you would like to engage in thoughtful and entertaining conversations about various relevant and irrelevant topics, you should join us.
Each Wednesday, usually around 6:00 pm until well into the evening, we gather at a local pub. Currently, probably meeting at Sportsman's Grille on 21st ave, but that is subject to change. The bar's only requirements are that it be quiet enough for easy conversation and offer a variety of good beers. Please note: GOOD beers does not refer to Budweiser products. But you can drink Budweiser products if you would like. Hell, you don't even have to drink beer at Beer Church. Perhaps you'd prefer a Zima. Or maybe you'd like a Fresca. You just have to offer something to the discussion. Be prepared to have your ideas challenged, your wit stimulated, and your liver destroyed.
We also move outside of the bar occasionally for special events, such as guerilla masquerades, capers, and other unusual activities.
Everyone with intellect and a sense of humor is welcome and encouraged to join us.
Oh, and we're not really a church. Don't let that scare you. We're more like a pointless think tank. Or that creepy Skull and Bones society, except without any power and very little homoerotica.
