He-Brew

Beer is the world's oldest and most popular alcoholic beverage. So, you know God was in on the goodness of beer thing from the very beginning!

The discovery of late Stone Age beer jugs has established the fact that intentionally fermented beverages existed at least as early as the Neolithic period (cir. 10,000 BC), and it has been suggested that beer may have preceded bread as a staple; wine clearly appeared later as a finished product in Egyptian pictographs around 4,000 BC.

Brewing dates from the beginning of civilization in ancient Egypt and alcoholic beverages were very important in that country. Symbolic of this is the fact that while many gods were local or familial, Osiris, the god of wine, was worshiped throughout the entire country. The Egyptians believed that this important god also invented beer, a beverage that was considered a necessity of life; it was brewed in the home "on an everyday basis." (see final paragragh notes)

Both beer and wine were deified and offered to gods. Cellars and winepresses even had a god whose hieroglyph was a winepress. The ancient Egyptians made at least 17 varieties of beer and at least 24 varieties of wine. Alcoholic beverages were used for pleasure, nutrition, medicine, ritual, remuneration and funerary purposes. The latter involved storing the beverages in tombs of the deceased for their use in the after-life.

Numerous accounts of the period stressed the importance of moderation, and these norms were both secular and religious. While Egyptians did not generally appear to define drunkenness as a problem, they warned against taverns (which were often also houses of prostitution) and excessive drinking. After reviewing extensive evidence regarding the widespread but generally moderate use of alcoholic beverage, the historian Darby makes a most important observation: all these accounts are warped by the fact that moderate users "were overshadowed by their more boisterous counterparts who added 'color' to history." Thus, the intemperate use of alcohol throughout history receives a disproportionate amount of attention. Those who abuse alcohol cause problems, draw attention to themselves, are highly visible and cause legislation to be enacted. The vast majority of drinkers, who neither experience nor cause difficulties, are not noteworthy. Consequently, observers and writers largely ignore moderation.

Last Paragraph Notes: So let's lift a glass, a can, a bottle, a mug, or a tankard of our favorite brew, but only to have a few! I must admit, the answers from Mullah - "He-Brew" & Buff - "The Holy Ale" are both generally quite good, but this is God we are talking about right? His brew has to be something special. And lastly, He's got to be a Home (Heaven) Brewer for sure. So, If I had to pick a name, I'd go with either "Good Brew" or "Heavenly Brew," as names I made up, but who really knows what God actually calls it, other than Good!

Cheers!

I thought he drank wine. I wasn't aware that he drank beer. It's a little difficult to picture him kicking back on the seventh day with a 12-pack.
