Potus non frangit ieiunium. – "Drinking is not breaking the fast".
Stout or strong beer owes its origin to this old catholic rule for Lent. In former times monks and lords of the castle brewed a powerful bock beer to strengthen themselves for the 40 days of fasting leading up to Easter solemnities. In Bavaria, an extra-strength bock beer is immediately recognizable by the suffix ending in “ator”.
Dark, intense and round in taste, it ranks among the Maxlrain popular seasonal beer specialities.
