The Brew World....A Beer Fit For The Pope

No man is too big or too small to enjoy the little things in life. No real man is too righteous to enjoy the things that man has spent thousands of years perfecting. Not even the Pope.

It was a bottle of Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale brewed by the Black Sheep Brewery of Masham, England.

It's unusual but it's true. And I suppose that if any brew was appropriate for such a figure of faith, the Holy Grail is that brew. And if you're wondering how you can enjoy a ice cold bottle of church, try visiting the BeerGeek here and check out MPHG among many others.

Although I haven't had the luxury of trying such a blessed beer, BeerGeek.biz describes it as, "Hazy, honey golden hue with aromas of honey and earthy hops."

So with that said I wonder what it would be like to sit down in a nice big comfy Vatican chair and shoot the shat with his holiness over a couple of Holy Grails and some of that authentic Italian pizza.
