Why you should drink Keystone Beer & Cocktails "on the Rocks" today

Happy Feast of St. Peter – the first pope

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

~ Matthew 16:18

For Beer Drinkers

Celebrate today’s Feast of St. Peter with some Keystone Beer from Coors.

Drink to St. Peter and recall the “Key” for the Keys given to St. Peter by Jesus.

Drink to St. Peter and recall the “Stone” for the rock that is St. Peter.

If you buy Keystone Light, you can drink to Peter being the “Light of the Gospels” that Peter hand on to the world.

For Liquor Drinkers

If you can’t find any Keystone or Keystone Light beer, you can also celebrate with hard liquor.

Drink a cocktail and recall that the “cock” crowed 3 times when Peter denied knowing Jesus.

Be sure to drink your cocktail “on the rocks” to recall Jesus telling Peter that he is the Rock on which Jesus founds his church.

For Wine Drinkers

            There are many varieties of wine named for St. Peter.

            Look for Vina San Pedro in Chilean wines.

            French wines: Chateau Saint-Pierre, Caves Saint-Pierre (Rhone), Domaine de Saint-Pierre (Languedoc), Saint-Peray (sparkling white).

Here is the toast to St. Peter roughly translated from today’s collect of the Mass of St. Peter:

            “May Almighty God, who has made us sold on the rock of Apostolic faith, never allow us to be busted up by trouble.”

I will also celebrate today by smoking a “Fighting Cock” cigar.
