Lent
Just as the monks who brewed rich, nourishing beer for their strict fasting times before Easter, we’ve put together the perfect selection for you!
Fasting is an integral part of Christian customs and is even older than Christianity itself. Tradition says that the ancient Romans already underwent regular fasting treatments. With a lifestyle of Dionysian excesses, bacchanal drinking bouts and over-indulgence, this was certainly sorely necessary. Christians who loved asceticism abstained from debauchery but adopted fasting. In order not to give up meat, or sometimes even for stricter monasteries who gave up food completely, during the fasting time, an exception was introduced: liquids do not break the fast.
Thus, resourceful monks then brewed beers that were so nutritious and strong that it perfectly compensated for the absence of food.
Whether you’re sticking to tradition with strong bock beers or going modern with alcohol-free beer options, we’ve got you covered.
