About the book:
A priest, a blogger, and a homebrewer walk into a bar…
If you want to know what happens next, then this book may be just what you’ve been looking for! Blogger Sarah Vabulas, better known as the Catholic Drinkie, shares her story of what happened to bring her passion for the Church and her passion for a good drink together into a mission of evangelization. You’ll read all about the history of alcohol while exploring instances of drinking in Scripture and learning about your new favorite patron saints of beer. You’ll also find a how-to of homebrewing, with plenty of recipes and tips to inspire your own homebrews. With Sarah’s skillful storytelling, you’ll soon see something more than froth here: A conversation with the Catholic Drinkie is where brew meets faith.

Endorsements for The Catholic Drinkie’s Guide to Homebrewed Evangelism:
“If beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy, then the histories and recipes in this delightful manual are proof that he also supplies us the means of better appreciating his divine favor! Or did I mean flavor?” — Elizabeth Scalia, author of Strange Gods: Unmasking the Idols in Everyday Life
“Cheers to Sarah Vabulas, the saintly genius behind the fabulous “Catholic Drinkie” apostolate, for penning a book which reminds us that faith, like a great beer, is meant to be savored and shared. Packed full of history, spirituality, and — yes! — homebrew pointers too, The Catholic Drinkie’s Guide to Homebrewed Evangelism calls us each to embrace our own unique role in the New Evangelization. Buy two! This book, like your favorite brew, is too great to keep to yourself!”
— Lisa M. Hendey, Founder of CatholicMom.com and author of The Grace of Yes
“The Catholic Drinkie’s Guide to Homebrewed Evangelism is a glimpse into the Church from a fresh, rarely-explored angle. This delightful little book will renew your appreciation for two of God’s greatest gifts to humanity: the Catholic Church and good beer.”
— Jennifer Fulwiler, author Something Other than God and host of The Jennifer Fulwiler Show on SiriusXM
“The Catholic Drinkie’s Guide to Homebrewed Evangelism is a must read for anyone who takes faith, socializing, fun and spiritual life seriously! Sarah’s joy in her faith and her affection for a well-made beer or mixed drink will warm your heart and raise your glass to faith!”
— Bonnie Rodgers, Director, The CatholicTV Network
“The Catholic Drinkie’s Guide to Homebrewed Evangelism makes me thirst for a good drink as well a good conversation about Jesus. Sarah Vabulas’ book reminds me of the best of what it means to be Catholic. We are in this world, which means I can enjoy a beer; but I am not of this world, which means I have to also do the work of Jesus while on the earth. While being able to enjoy the fermented fruits of our labors, we have to still do the work in God’s vineyard. Thank you Jesus for evangelization and beer!”
— Marcel LeJeune, Assistant Director of Campus Ministry at St. Mary’s Catholic Center, Texas A&M University
