An Episcopal priest in Hawaii and a bar owner in Texas, Father Bill Miller says that if Jesus was alive today he not only would have turned water into beer, it also would have been “his beverage of choice.”

Noting that Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine in the Bible’s New Testament, Father Miller tells Fox News that today – it would have been a different choice.

“If Jesus had lived in Texas, for example, rather than Palestine, I’m pretty sure he would have turned that water into beer,” Miller tells Fox News, noting that Jesus didn’t just make “any wine,” he made “really good wine” that was served as the best for last at the Biblical wedding at Cana.

“He had no problem with quality,” adds Miller.

Miller has written “The Beer Drinker’s Guide to God,” a book displaying his vision of how alcohol and beer play a role in revealing one’s spirituality, faith and reveal the true nature of God.

“I think for me, beer, is the universal beverage,” says Miller, who is at his bar, Padre’s, in the West Texas town of Marfa when he is not at the pulpit on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
