Does the Bible allow Christians to drink bear?
As I am currently sitting in dark, rainy NW Washington, helping with family matters, any thought of "drink" goes straight to coffee. I made the mistake of searching for "grizzly bear coffee." I guess I didn't realize there would be so many options. I'm wondering if the boss would fire me if I ordered a few dozen for a taste test.
You know, for science. And this article. How could I justify such an expenditure…
Grizzly Blend is a "heavy, bold, earthy" coffee from Montana Coffee Traders. MCT has partnered with Vital Ground, a nonprofit that buys lands so wildlife, particularly grizzlies, can travel without adverse interactions with people. Sooo…basically, by buying Grizzly Blend, I'd be fulfilling God's command to care for creation (Genesis 1:28).
Grizzly Coffee Co is the coffee for the outdoors. They claim to have blends for people with beards, cliff-climbers, and heroic fishermen. The first may apply to Jeff, but I'm not really represented, here. I'm also confused as to why their "Hibernate" coffee isn't decaf. Missed an opportunity, there.
Grizzly Bear blend from ethicaladdictions Coffee Roasters claims to be "dark and chocolatey, cuddly but dangerous." That sounds more my speed. I mean, except for the cuddly part. Plus, they deal directly with coffee growers; they claim a Fairtrade rating would be too expensive for the farmers, so they concentrate on "direct trade." The Bible is all about paying merchants fairly (Proverbs 20:10). Too bad they're out of England.
Finally, Grizzly Bear coffee from ChestBrew, a strong but smooth offering from Vietnam. It promises no artificial chemicals, man-made preservatives, and no "bogus caffeine fillers." Which is all well and good, but what caught my attention was the "dark chocolate dusted" line on the bag. The boss loves dark chocolate, so I might be able to justify the expenditure.
Too bad he doesn't like coffee.
There is another kind of brew, however. Grizzly Bear Brewing offers craft beer, cider, and wine. I know the boss won't be happy with that kind of taste test, though. Sure, Christians can drink beer in moderation, but not with ministry funds!
