Stronger beer!

Catholic ,catholics, catholics, there seems to be always a trick up your sleeves. Now I'm not catholic, but for some reason they (Catholics) always find a way, or a reason to drink beer! I don't know what it is, but it seems like that. In Munich right now, people are putting down their favorite meats and snacks for lent. Yes, beer. But this beer is much stronger than "Ya regegular ol brew!" This is Starkbier!
It seems that in the 16th century Bavarian monks decided to drink beer during lent since Algol was not on the strict regulations for fasting. the beer helped with the monks empty stomachs, so one year they decided the spice it up, and make it more stronger! And stronger it was making it easier to fast during the lent period. So catholics beer drinkers in munich are switching to Starker this year for lent.
Beer is such a wonderful drink for ADULTS! And it always fun to learn something new about beer, the history in all, so for all you beer drinkers out there, this ones for you!!!
