A Chosen Beer
Several years ago, I remember seeing a pawn shop in Michigan City, IN called “Agape,” and I remember how non-agape a pawn shop seemed to me. Today, I’ve found another oddity. It’s called “He’Brew: The Chosen Beer.”
Tell me this isn’t great! I picked them up at a place that used to be called Dereuze Gourmet Market in Grandville, MI but has recently been renamed to “Peters Imports Gourmet Market.” They’ve reset their entire floor and I don’t really like it as much as the old format, but they now have a bulk section that has incredible prices on everything from chocolate to olives.
In any case, I tried the “Messiah Bold” this evening and found it a little hoppier than I prefer but nice and smooth. It’d go well with a sausage or hot-dog, probably great ice-cold on a really hot day. Either way, it’s worth the purchase for the blurb on the side:
Why is this beer different from all other beers? As commanded, we at HE’BREW Beer have been fruitful and multiplied our offerings. Tradition teaches that the Messiah’s name is Shalom-Peace. With your first sip of this rich dark, and delicious libation, we hope to offer a momentary tast of microbrewed bliss. if you feel the sudden urge to beat your swords into ploughshares (Isaiah 2:4) or to picnic with the lion and the lamb (Is. 11:6)…Rejoice! Now our Award-winning brewers can’t claim supernatural powers - simply a fanatical commitment to brewing world-class beers: A truly scrumptious mitzvah (good deed)! Through the new Millennium and beyond, may your cups runneth over with the blessings of great beer and great schtick. To the Future! To a Bodl Life! L’Chaim!
You can check them out at: www.shmaltz.com or pick one up at Peter’s, you can buy them by the bottle in the back coolers.
Grace and Peace,
