About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Not in beer!
[Ain’t you just the charmer.]
One could transpose some words . . . .
“Support Wisconsin Priests” & “Pray for More Beer”
Not knowing what Wisconsin Beer tastes like I must agree with “acardnal”.
LOL
It seems to me that beer is something to be supported at all times and in all places.
Oh yes… priests too.
What a fine and decent person they must be.
And wine – “Wine is like life to men, if you drink it in moderation. What is life to a man who is without wine? It has been created to make men glad. Wine drunk in season and temperately is rejoicing of heart and gladness of soul” Sirach 31 27-28
Wisconsin has lots of great beer. It’s kind of the state pastime.
With all the micro breweries almost every place has good beer.
You can bring your kids to the bars here. It’s weird. People do it though.
Free Brewery in Lawrence, Ks, makes John Brown ale. Famous mural in the state capitol in Topeka.

my other half suggests that if you never have had Unibroue’s “Maudite” or “Blanche du Chambly” or Big Rock “Stone Fired Erratic” or “Rosmarinus Aromatic Ale” , then you have missed something special in beers…
Should be: Free State Brewery

Here here! And I have the nice and high HDL to prove it! Another reason I love the book of Sirach. And now I know why it is not in the protestant bible… …all those grape juice drinking protestants who are against alcohol.
New Jersey has some great wineries… “Support New Jersey Wineries!… and Priests!… and Nuns who make soap!”
Unibroue’s Trois Pistoles is also very tasty.
I may not have the wording exactly correct, but Hilaire Belloc wrote:-
In lands where a Catholic sun doth shine
There’s laughter, music and good red wine,
At least I have always found it so,
Benedicamus Domino
