I said I wasn't going to write again

But I couldn't resist noting this from The Shrine of the Holy Whapping:

"Blessing of Beer"

P. Our help is in the name of the Lord.

All. Who made heaven and earth.

P. The Lord be with you.

All. May he also be with you.

Let us pray. Lord, bless + this creature, beer, which by Your kindness and power has been produced from kernels of grain, and let it be a healthful drink for mankind. Grant that whoever drinks it with thanksgiving to your holy name may find it a help in body and in soul; through Christ our Lord.

All: Amen.

The beer is sprinkled with holy water.

--From the 1964 Roman Ritual, VIII:5

Maybe we could take some over to St. Paul's and ask Father ...? No, liquor would maybe be better. I'm in no position to know! ;)
