But the fact remains ... it's sad how religion makes people afraid of living. At one point in time I was under such a stronghold in my life where I thought drinking was not something a Christian could do. But coming to know who Jesus really is has freed me from any laws of man. I only hope that this micro-brewery is able to open their business and open the minds of their fellow neighbors.

Clearly, he is not wholly opposed to the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

That would be like saying He hates cars and medicine and rope and anything else that someone might use to do evil. These are people who make up their own religion because the one God made wasn't good enough for them. These are not "God-fearing county residents". They are NOT following the teachings of God, that would make them God-hating wouldn't it? Jesus does not hate beer.
