Beer 32 - Anniversary Stout 250, Guinness

"We must all fear evil men but there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." -The Boondock Saints

The degradation of our society has primarily come from the indifference of good men. First, we need to resurrect the production of "good men," and second we need the "good men" that are out there to put on their armor and fight.

Scene Setting: Watching the Boondock Saints and trying to stay warm on the couch with a little Guinness Anniversary Stout.

Verdict: This Anniversary Stout has a hint of the regular stout except that I'm noticing some chocolate undertones, and a little higher quality (not that Guinness doesn't bring superior quality every time.) I think the Anniversary has the essence of celebration with it, an extra smoothness. With Guinness and the Boondock Saints you can't go wrong.

A penny saved is worth two in the bush brother, because people in glass houses sink ships, and you can't cross the road before you count your chickens.

Tim,
Have you been into the Terible, or is it the Woodbridge? haha

Heath,
But is a man of indifference a good man to start with, or does it take the removal of indifference for a man to be considered good?

Heath said...

Justin, that is an excellent point! I think many men are simply untrained or unaware. Good men (made good by grace and redemption, for none of us can be good without that) that have still not been awakened to the needs beyond their own little world or how to act on them.

Justin,

It's the Three Philosophers I was into. Couldn't you tell?

Oh yeah, how could I have missed that when we have our own 3 philosphers going!?

So we are saying that with salvation comes the removal of indifference, the redemption of a man to be good, and passion (what seems to me the opposite of indifference) to become aware of the things that God's heart desires? I think we are arriving at something...
