John Smith, a Reformed Baptist pastor near Kittaning, along with his son, Ben "Dennis" Smith, an admissions counselor at Geneva College, and Ben Duncan, who leads worship at his church, are aiming to raise $35,000 in donations via Kickstarter.com to open a brewpub. They will sell their own beer on draft, by the half gallon to go, and in kegs.
The planned pub, Reclamation Brewing Co., will feature their 'Carey Me Home India Pale Ale' and 'Spurgeon's Chocolate Milk Stout'.
The Reformed Baptist pastor noted that their 'Carey Me Home' brand was a double entendre for the famous Baptist missionary and the ale's boosted alcohol content, 10% ABV.

He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the labor of man, So that he may bring forth food from the earth,
Psa 104:15
And wine which makes man's heart glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And food which sustains man's heart. (NASB, emphasis mine)
"Full bodied stout brewed with lactose, chocolate, oatmeal and a low hop profile help to accent the sweet, malty flavor of this brew. As it warms, it develops a caramel and coffee essence."
I came across the following article today, and I just had to chuckle at the name Reclamation Brewing Co. that was chosen by these Reformed/Baptist boozers (see OP):
"Craft brewers have recently struggled with water shortages in the American West....In Arizona, the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department is working with the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild, which has more than 80 members, to determine who can make the best-tasting beer using recycled water."
"Scientists and water professionals understand that water purification technology can make it safe to drink treated sewage. Their voices are important ones, but they appeal to the head, not the heart. Far more persuasive will be the experience of friends sharing a cold one"
"A glass of cold craft beer made with recycled water could go a long way in changing how people think about reusing water....instead of responding to the idea with "Yuck!" let's raise a cold one and celebrate...craft brewers creating ever more interesting and flavorful beers while becoming a model of environmental stewardship."
