But did you know that Catholic monks once brewed beer specifically for a liquid-only Lenten fast?
Back in the 1600s, Paulaner monks moved from Southern Italy to the Cloister Neudeck ob der Au in Bavaria. “Being a strict order, they were not allowed to consume solid food during Lent,” the braumeister and beer sommelier of Paulaner Brewery (Martin Zuber) explained in a video on the company’s website. They needed something other than water to sustain them, so the monks turned to a common staple of the time of their region - beer.

They concocted an “unusually strong” brew, full of carbohydrates and nutrients, because “liquid bread wouldn’t break the fast.” This was an early doppelbock-style beer, which the monks eventually sold in the community and which was an original product of Paulaner brewery, founded in 1634. They gave it the name “Salvator” named after “Sankt Vater” which “roughly translates as ‘Holy Father beer’.

The mendicant order and the brewery are named after Francis of Paola, the founder of the order. Paulaner is one of the six breweries who provide beer for Oktoberfest.[2] Paulaner ranks number six among Germany's best-selling beers. This very large beer mug capacity is 1 Litre.

Mendicant orders are, primarily, certain Catholic Christian religious orders that have adopted a lifestyle of poverty, travelling, and living in urban areas for purposes of preaching, evangelization, and ministry, especially to the poor.
