The Benedictine Monks have been brewing for several hundred years and traditionally, brewing beer was a common activity in Monastery's.<p>
During a recent CB discussion several monks were discussing their favorite homebrew or commercial beer when [blue_cowdawg] posed the query "do any other monks brew their own beer".<p>
Having brewed for about 10 years now, I thought "what a great question, I wonder how many monks here brew beer or wine like the religious orders of old have been doing for centuries."<p>
So the question is, do you brew and if so, what is your best style?<p>
For me, it is Ales of all types. My favorites tend to range toward the brown ale, but I have been known to brew just about anything on request from the ginger-wheat my wife likes to the 9% alcohol Mexican cerveza that is [DrManhattan]s favorite.
