A group of American monks living in a monastery in Italy are selling their own beer. Fox News Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Amy Kellogg has the story brewing from Rome. Brother Francis from Dallas, Texas is the brew-monk-in-chief of this Benedictine Order's craft beer, Birra Nursia, newly available in the United States.
The tradition of monastic brewing dates back to the Middle Ages and, despite what you might think about alcohol and Lent, beer is for monks a sustenance-giving beverage during the religious fasting period.
