Beer and Monks

This is a funny story. Monks making beer in and of itself is an amusing story with out the addon. But the fact that their beer was voted the best was phenomenal. Of course, being monks, they did have time to dedicate to the craft of slow beer making. They have obviously perfected the art. But now that everyone is on to them, they cant seem to make it fast enough to sell anymore.

Monks & Beer Beliefs Religious General

The story is amusing and what is more... suppose they start selling on the black market, now that everyone has tasted it I am sure they will be using lots of temptations to get some of the beer under the table without the transactions being considered buy and sell, maybe a donation of sorts?

Beer and Monks

Well, I dont suppose that would be out of the question. Would that then be an anonymous donation to the church and then a "special care package" for the donators? Maybe a requirement to come to service?

Beer and Monks

All those sound like good reasons to me Konquererz, but being that I never cared for the smell or taste of beer I cannot understand why anyone would go through such trouble to get some. At least we know the Monks will never have to worry about fund raisers again.
