    A brewery founded by a Saint.
    It's good to be Catholic!! ;)

    Weihenstephaner Korbinian     – The Weihenstephan brewery is considered by many to be the oldest brewery in the world. Founded in the year 725 by St. Corbinian, Weihenstephan Abbey began brewing beer in the year 1040. The brewery is now owned by the state of Bavaria, but its Korbinian Doppelbock is one of the finest in the world.

    • Beer should be stored in wooden barrels or glass bottles.
    Leather or pottery may be adequate for beverages, as the case may be.
    Metal cans, possibly even poisoned inside by varnish should be avoided.

    He was probably canonized specifically BECAUSE of the beer.  :laugh1:

    • They travelled all over the Alps to present the beer to the Pope. A barrel on the back of an ass, hopping up and down, hundreds of miles. The Pope, after tasting a lukewarm sample, said that it's fine for fasting.

    I remember hearing that story as well. Do you recall the source?

    At STAS we used to joke about a certain pre-Vatican II theologian who, after saying that beer doesn’t break the fast, then wrote that it’s OK to snack on stuff so the beer doesn’t give you a stomach ache “ne potus noceat”.  This is clearly silly, since you’re not required to drink beer in the first place.  But we’d joke about eating stuff between meals “ne potus noceat”.  Another theologian basically defined as liquid anything that could be drawn through a straw, so we would joke about blending up a Big Mac so that it could be drawn through a large straw.

    When I was reading the history of the lenten fast a few years ago, alcohol is precisely the reason that the monks added the snack/collation to lent, which used to be 1-meal-a-day.  The monks used to have wine at dinnertime (though they had already had their 1-meal for the day).  Because some monks couldn't handle drinking on an empty stomach, the monks allowed bread to be eaten.  Thus, this practice eventually extended to the whole church.

    • How would one go about doing a beer fast for Lent? The article doesn't really break down what he did.

    Interesting.  That part I didn't know.  Of course we were joking that as long as we had a beer between meals, then we could snack ... to prevent "upset stomach".  We often joked too that many of us ended up gaining weight during Lent.  I think that it's because of what it does to your metabolism, especially when you have your big meal late in the evening.
