Weird Tract Number 49: "Beer Has It All!" by Dr. Paul Heaton of Bible Baptist Church

Beer religious tract alcohol
It's spring break week at The Museum of Weird and Demented Religious Tracts and today's tract is "Beer Has It All!" by Pastor Paul Heaton of Bible Baptist Church of Lupton, Michigan. While the end of the pamphlet has Bible verses that warn against imbibing, Heaton mostly addresses the alleged dangers of some of the additives in beer and byproducts of the brewing process such as pupulin, geraniol, gum arabic, sodium dithionite, cobalt, tannic acid, ammonium phosphate, potassium metabisulfite, tartaric acid, papain, magnesium sulfate, and dextrin. To paraphrase Mark Twain, this tract is chloroform in print.

Tomorrow, the museum will feature a very old tract: "Rats In The Beer Vats."
