Insane.
Yet another reason for reform.

Ezra A. Cohen @EzraACohen - One thing I did NOT hear uttered at @MunSecConf: “We prefer China over America.”
In fact, it was quite the opposite. Everyone wants to buy American. Great opportunity for our industry and country.

Father V @father_rmv - In the 1600s, Paulaner monks (of the Order of Minims), having relocated from southern Italy to the Cloister Neudeck ob der Au near Munich, observed a strict Lenten fast. Monastic fasting rules at the time prohibited solid food during Lent (the approximately 40-day period leading to Easter, excluding Sundays), but liquids were permitted and did not break the fast.
To sustain themselves nutritionally without solid food, the monks brewed a particularly strong, nutrient-rich beer—high in carbohydrates and calories, often described as “liquid bread” (flüssiges Brot). This beer provided essential sustenance in place of meals. The style they developed was an early form of doppelbock, a dark, malty, strong lager. This brew, originally called “Sankt Vaterbier” (Holy Father Beer) in honor of their founder Saint Francis of Paola, later became known as Salvator (Latin for “Savior”). According to accounts, the monks sought papal approval because the beer tasted so enjoyable that they questioned whether it truly constituted a penitential sacrifice. Legend holds that when a sample was sent to Rome, it spoiled en route and tasted unpleasant upon arrival, leading the Pope to approve it as suitably sacrificial.
The Paulaner Brewery, founded in 1634 on the monastic site, continues to produce Salvator doppelbock today, released seasonally around Lent.
