God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.

Anne Sexton
Don’t drink only water. You ought to drink a little wine for the sake of your stomach because you are sick so often.

1 Timothy 5:23
He was a wise man who invented beer

Plato
He makes…wine that gladdens human hearts.

Psalm 104:15
Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.

Ecclesiastes 9:7
Beer is made by man, wine by God.

Martin Luther
If you are tired and downhearted, take a drink; but this does not mean being a pig and doing nothing but gorging and swilling… You should be moderate and sober; this means that we
should not be drunken, though we may be exhilarated. [Sermon on Soberness and Moderation]

Martin Luther
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy

Benjamin Franklin
