RE: The Lord of the Beer #2 Rochefort 10

in #life7 years ago

Thankyou for sharing the trappist knowledge about beers i never knew that, i once visited a priory while visiting hadrians wall called lanercost priory and in the guide book that i bought it said i will have to dig the book out to get the exact quantity but the monks had an allowance of several pints a day that they could drink how mad is that 0-0 ill try to find a picture of the priory it was a really peaceful place, the English heritage website says this about it
The beautiful and now tranquil setting of Augustinian Lanercost Priory belies an often troubled history. Standing close to Hadrian's Wall, it suffered frequent attacks during the long Anglo-Scottish wars, once by Robert Bruce in person. The mortally sick King Edward I rested here for five months in 1306-7, shortly before his death on his final campaign. Yet there is still much to see in this best-preserved of Cumbrian monasteries. The east end of the noble 13th-century church survives to its full height, housing within its dramatic triple tier of arches some fine monuments.

hopefully heres a pic of the place if it works im still a noob so fingers crossed
