Check it out, Beermonkey, seems like Jesus don't like bein' dissed. I'll bet, however, He'd brew a red Irish ale with just enough over-the-top alcohol content to stop the Irish from ruling the world.

Hmm....seems there might have been a divine intervention here. The link you posted takes us to a statement tellling us that the milk and cookies network has been closed.

I thought Jesus was more of a wine aficionado.


I mean... you know, from what I hear.

He spent most of his life in Glastonbury England with his uncle, the tinman, so if he had a preference, it likely would be something common there. Perhaps someone closer to that area can sneak in to see what is popular in that area.

Regarding the Irish comment, the Irish, Scottish, and English caucasians in whose society he would have partaken in were all of the same ancestry. The sister of Scota [see the Scotland founding documents] became a queen of England, carrying with her the theological documents that were later commissioned to be interpreted into English by King Jim.

The wine is symbolic of blood.

I have no idea if he drank more than ceremonially, it is just a little history that I know

//edit
sorry, his uncle was Joseph of Arimathaea, from a 'suburb' of Glastonbury

I have recently returned from Jordan, where the entire early history of the 3 major monotheistic faiths started, and I can tell you that the wine there is far better than the beer!

Chemical fizz, all of it - Amstel, Becks, Heineken, Corona - all foul rubbish.

The link didn't work, but its probably best, I probably wouldn't have liked it anyways.

I don't know about your knowing history but you sure can make it up.:confused:
Perhaps your comment about Joseph of Arimathea is based upon the tradition that this Joseph took the gospel to England, but he was not related to Jesus.

Jesus was popular with and related well to the common man of his day. He would have enjoyed whatever they offered him.

Is this an acceptable topic for a beer board? I guess it started that way

Joseph of Aramathea was the one to claim the body after it came off the cross [four people recorded seeing that in theology]. He is described as rich and powerful and all that stuff, but if he was not kin, he would not have been allowed to claim the body that was by Roman law supposed to be done away with as the theives' bodies. It is no different than today. Donald Trump could not claim your body at the morgue unless he was kin, even though he is rich and powerful.

If you are interested in this, I would suggest reviewing some work of E. Raymond Capp. He did a documentary on Joseph in the 1970s called the Legends of Glastonbury [he followed the legends about Joseph the tin man, who was also known as Joseph of Aramathea]. He also did one on the coronation stone [the one that used to sit under the throgn of the King of England's coronation seat] that is currently in Scone, Scotland, if I remember correctly that it was the last time it moved. Barbara Walters had a special on ABC or NBC or whatever her network is, and during it she into Joseph's tomb with her camera people, or the one thought to be it.

I guess it is all really about like high school history class, you just have to pick the recounts you want to believe.

In the interest of retracking and lightening up( we're drinking beer after all) I respectfully submit the ponderables:




Heavenly Hefeweissen
Cherubim Cherry Ale (sinful!)
Pete's Pearly Pew Pilsner
Archangel's Armageddon Amber (stand warned)
Michael's Miracle Mead
Gabriel's Gated Grog
Revelationary Raspberry Ruin (12% ABV)
Mt Olive Manger Malt Ale
Thomas' Doubting Stout
Julius Cerveza (good with lime)
Believer Beer
Sinner's Seasonal Sacrament
Dew NTO Utter's
Damascus Draught
Good Sam Stout (the "original" Sam)
Follower's Forbidden Framboise
The Last Sipper





The recipe was all way the same: 2 fish, 2 loaves and a river.

I didn't mean to be too heavy on my last post here but it is something I have a background in.

And as for the reference to beer in this subject, I spend alot of time showing people that God intended us to enjoy the fruits of our work, including beer and wine. The church has always been a friend to the brewing industry, at least until it lost its way to some over zealous people in prohibition. But I've met overzealous atheists too!

As for your point that Joseph would have not been allowed to pick up the body of Jesus if he was not related. You don't understand that in the case of crucifixion it was rare for anyone to pick up the body. His family would have been unable to because his death was that of a political threat--his family would have been suspect--that's why those closest to him were cowering in fear.

Joseph as a member of the Sanhedrin, went to Pilate to petition for the body of Jesus. It does not say he claimed the body, but that he requested permission to bury the body.

No requirement for a relative.

As this is a board meant to speak of other subjects, out of respect to others and my enjoyment of the other subject, I will restrain myself from any other posts here. If you are interested in further discussion though PM me.

Of course considering the initial post in this thread. . .

I think Jesus would be tapping the Resurrection Ale for next week
