Return of Hopfen und Malz:
Along with Saint’s of the Suds I hope for this to be an occasional, yet on-going series, reflecting on the holy (and sometimes weird) things that happen to me when I go to bars.
Part I “It seems that you see me more in bars than in church.”
I heard these words […]

–Russian proverb
