Recognizing that beer is a gift from God's great Creation, Robert and Dennis are happy to discover that there is a Catholic blessing for beer. After prayers, they guys discuss how over the centuries Catholicism, Beer and Culture have been interwoven to create a way of life in many parts of the world.
