Since water is a key ingredient in beer, it being mostly water, polluted water threatens beer quality.

Thursday a group of 59 craft breweries sent a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers opposing the agencies' "Dirty Water Rule" proposal to slash clean water protections for waterways around the country.

These brewers, who are partners in NRDC's Brewers for Clean Water campaign, are standing up for safeguards that protect the sources of clean water on which their businesses depend.

    All of that goes against the core teachings of Jesus to which those people profess belief. I have heard many of their reasons, but explaining the history behind their development does not change their blatant hypocrisy. I enjoyed your comment though.

    Still angry at the idiocy and hatred.

      You trying to throw some shade brah? Angry that people think religion is founded in stupidity and evil?

      Jesus hated religion or so I've heard, that means Christians will be dancing a pretty tune to the Devil's mad fiddle skillz.

        Trust me, I am the most anti-religion person in the thread. The problem is religion has gone "underground", and now often masquerades as something else (political parties, science-mimicking research, etc)

          Flamebait? I am not kidding when I say I refuse to enter a church for wedding, funeral, or any reason at all. Last wedding I sat on a curb in the parking lot drinking instead of go in. I saw them all kneeling to some guy who claims to know what happens after you die, and they saw me and wished they were out there too.
