The beer money keeps the nuns in their habits.

Nun finer!

Blue Nun. Remember it?

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” – Martin Luther

they say that convent life is humdrum, but there’s actually always something brewing…

Bet all brews are lambic (wild yeasts).

Motto is : We vow to drink Beer every day .

Many monasteries brew Mead…

Need to work on their name . CIHB is only pronounceable when you’re drunk…

Has the religious orders of the Catholic church gone this far???

The De La Salle Brothers (Christian Brothers) had a winery in California and made wine (including sacramental wine) and brandy from 1882 to 1989 when the winery was sold to Heublein.

Monks have been brewing beer for centuries.

Keep Kavanaugh away from the Nuns…

The Convent put the squeeze on Father Flinn to serve only their product at the church bingo.

I thought at first glance that this was the Brewery of the ImmaculaTe Convent Heart.

Did the Orthodox monasteries make Ouzo and Retsina?

…and I suppose if there were Jewish monasteries they’d make Maneschewitz wine !!

Related: our old German Lutheran church (some fond memories with the grandparents there) was razed a few years ago. Condos have replaced it. Though they did keep one of the oldest trees out front. It’s proximity to prime lakefront property and a park made it a target for developers.
