A Craft Beer Guide for Mennonites

Locally made small-batch craft beer is becoming increasingly popular across North America, with microbreweries opening from Goshen to Winnipeg and every place in between. For Mennonites, most of whom are used to drinking home-brewed dandelion wine behind the barn, the world of craft beer can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. So The Unger Review has created this handy guide to help Mennonites navigate the waters of your local craft beer scene.

ABV: On bottles of craft beer you will often see an ABV percentage. This is known as Aganetha Barkman’s Variable. This tells you what percentage of the profits go to buying off Mrs. Barkman so she won’t report you to the elders. The higher the ABV percentage, the less likely Mrs. Barkman is to disclose your drinking to the authorities.
