Raise a pint to Sister Julie

This story is too good to pass up. Not only does Sister Julie blog about her life as a nun, she occasionally talks about beer.

In a Chicago Tribune story, Sister Julie says:

"A lot of people are fascinated by what a nun does on a daily basis, that a nun would talk about going for a bike ride or having a drink at a bar. I do have a couple bars I like. Chicago Joe's, right up on Irving Park, I love that place. Harp Beer is one of my favorites, and they serve that on tap."

She also owns an MP3 player and recently downloaded the new Snow Patrol to go along with a steady stream of Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge and religious music.

In a post on her blog, Sister Julie writes about a trip to Breckenridge and mentions the beers available at Downstairs at Eric's. (I'm guessing the name of that establishment is an appreciative nod to Yaz's strong 1982 release Upstairs at Eric's.)

"fabulous pizza and a worthy selection of beers from across the globe."
