Unto God: A Palm Sunday Livestream on Beer, Faith, and Joy

Live from Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho

Join us this Palm Sunday for a livestream unlike any other—broadcast live from Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, featuring Beth Bechtel: CEO of Bear Island Brewing Company, self-declared “unabashedly unashamed Jesus freak,” and ordained ‘Reverend of Fermentation.’

Beth brings a bold mix of personal story, professional insight, and unapologetic theology to the table—literally. She’ll walk through her path from family brewer to spiritual brewer, including how Christian values shaped her business and why she believes beer can still be made unto God.

Expect to hear:

The miraculous (and ancient) origin of beer

How “brewsters” and monks carried the craft forward through centuries

What makes Trappist brewing sacred—and how some brews lost the plot

Why beer played a real role in saving civilization

And how Ecclesiastes 8:15 ties joy, labor, and libation into one unapologetic truth

Beth will also share stories, photos, and personal moments—including a family trip to Belgium and what she learned in the land of abbeys and ales.

This isn’t just a beer talk. It’s a challenge to see joy, history, and creation through a different lens.

Grab a pint, pull up a screen, and tune in live from Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho. You’ve never seen Palm Sunday served like this.
