Do you like wrestling with meaningful questions? Do you like local brew? How about enjoying both at the same time? Denver Brew Theology (DBT) is a diverse community filled with a mosaic of amazing people across the religious/ nonreligious and interfaith spectrum. We hold organized weekly conversations at a local brewpub. DBT is a growing community that gathers around an eclectic table with moderators keeping the convo flowing over some delicious CO craft brew. We brew up some zesty topics and relevant questions ranging from Christianity to Atheism, Buddhism to Judaism, etc. along with kicking around conversations pertaining to science, philosophy, sex, gender, race, politics, socio-economic, and justice-centric issues.

We are very open and honest - everything is on the table. If you're going to get bent out of shape if someone questions what you think, maybe this isn't the place for you. Some of the greatest theological conversations throughout history have happened at local pubs. Let's keep that tradition alive. We find that even in our disagreements and differing beliefs, DBT is a safe, ecumenical community that values one another. We find common ground in our shared humanity and are strangely yet remarkably unified by being together.

In addition to the weekly pub talk, we also publish a podcast - the Brew Theology Podcast - which is a microcosm of our weekly gatherings in half the time. We affirm all people, and everyone's voice truly matters. We simply ask that everyone be respectful, loving and gracious toward his or her fellow Denver Brew Theologian. We are the "home base" to #BrewTheology, an alliance/ network with chapters across the country (www.brewtheology.org). Denver as well. See ya at the pub soon.

Peace,
Janel and Rob

Theories about war and peace have been raging since the earliest hominids started fighting. From spears to nukes, war brings about destruction in myriad ways. Knowing when and where to fight, what weapons to use, and how to define your enemy are all elements in this wideranging discussion.

Religious groups have used war and fled from war. Race has been a constant subject of wars. Atrocities against women and children are often present in war as well. And in many wars, claiming a deity supports the cause has made things worse.

During our discussion we’ll wrestle with whether or not war is ever warranted. We’ll look at how people have made decisions about war. We will discuss the intersections of war and all the elements that inform our decision (race, gender, religion, etc.). We’ll also discuss the spiritual impacts of war and how they show up in the lives of the people who lived through it and how it impacts their descendents.

So join us at Strange Craft as we look at war theories, pacifism, and the consequences of war. We may be in the beer garden if the weather is nice.
