A dash of Irish twinkle provided by Jared Dalley isn’t enough to recommend “God & Beer,” a drab little faith-based dramedy set in a Las Vegas brew pub, of all places.

Flatly-acted, with indifferent direction, amateurish writing, staging , makeup and editing, it’s as lifeless as any 74 minutes you’re likely to spend in front of a screen.

“God & Beer” is about an Irish brewmaster (Dalley, the pride of Boise State) who travels to Sin City to track down the daughter he hasn’t seen since she was eight. Showing a photo of her at that age isn’t much help in a city where a visitor can only ask a street preacher for directions, and “nobody” actually lives in and around The Strip.

But there’s this couple in marriage counseling, Nora (Nicole Butler, ID’d as “Emma” on the Internet Movie Database) and Jamie (Mark Justice) who figure in that search. She’s Irish, a real estate broker married to an “entrepreneur,” which is what professional dilettantes call themselves.

Jamie’s latest passing fancy is a brew pub/restaurant he’s just bought. It’s a business he knows nothing about, but it allows him to show up to work with a perma-stubble, and sleep one off any time he has a tad too many. They’re in couple’s counseling because he’s a drunk who owns a bar and is basically living there, in other words.

Oisin Quinn (Dalley) wanders into coffee shops, appalled at being served espressos in paper cups and into the HUDL brew house where he has to instruct a barmaid in how to “proper” pour a Guinness draft.

He’s just what Jamie needs. Oisin’ll even get the “brewing” started so that the brew pub can live up to its name. The employment deal he strikes is awfully similar to pieces of Guiness family lore he passes on to one and all — “10 percent of every pint” he brews that sells.

Meanwhile, he keeps missing Nora as she ducks into the coffeeshop as he leaves or steps out of the pub as he steps in. Sure, we know she’s his daughter.

Oisin’s here to fix a broken family, get Dad involved in his aspiring hoops player/actor-wannabe son’s life and ensure that Jamie’s little girl starts speaking to him again.

Most everything about “God & Beer” is half-hearted, undercooked and stiff. The acting is almost uniformly amateurish. The clumsy framing device of couple’s counseling slows an already leaden pace to a crawl.

But Dalley breathes a bit of sober (faith-based film, after all) life into his scenes, serving up Irish wit — “The well-fed do not understand the lean.” — and Irish biblical justifications for drinking.

What was Christ’s first “miracle?” Turning water into wine. There are also cornball bits of Guinness the beer-making empire’s family lore.

The presence of Dean Cain as a school principal and a few shots at “Bud Light” are about as close to an agenda as this picture gets.

It can’t be cheap to film a movie in Las Vegas, even one as generic in settings as this one. Which is enough to make one wonder why anybody involved bothered? With drama this flat, stakes this low and entertainment value this paltry, the safer investment might have been at the roulette table.
