Martin Luther’s wife was a homebrewer
From an article sent in by a friend of MNB:
“Luther’s wife Catherine was a skilled brewer and his love letters to her when they were apart lamented his inability to drink her beer.”
The entire article outlines Mars Hills Church’s stance on alcohol. I happen to agree with it. The article is friggin‘ sweet, so make sure to check it out. And now, a Luther-related parting shot:
“Martin Luther explained the entire reformation as “…while I sat still and drank beer with Philip and Amsdorf, God dealt the papacy a mighty blow.””

This beer-loving papist would like to remind you boys that whatever can be said against the papists, at least we never worked to prohibit the good drink.

Hey, nothing against the papists. And you’re right about the Prohibition. That one cuts deep.
For what it’s worth, I apologize for my non-Papist predecessors.
