Pub crawl your way through the sacred seasons with this
entertaining and useful collection of cocktail recipes, distilled
spirits, beer, and wine for virtually every occasion on the

spiritual manual, a dash of irreverence, and mixed with love:
Drinking with the Saints is a work that both sinner and saint will
savor. You may think you're savy on saintly drinking, but did you
know: Beer may have been invented by the ancient Egyptians, but it
was perfected in medieval monasteries? The methode champenoise was
invented by a Benedictine monk whose name now adorns one of the
world's finest champagnes: Dom Perignon. According to the story,
when he sampled his first batch, Perignon cried out to his fellow
monks: "Brothers, come quickly. I am drinking stars!" Whiskey was
invented by Irish monks, who probably shared their knowledge with
the Scots during their missions. Whiskey was first prescribed
medicinally as a cure for "paralysis of tongue," and apparently it
works: no Irishman since has ever been accused of having a
paralyzed tongue. Chartreuse, the world's most magical liqueur, was
perfected by Carthusian monks and is still made by them. Only two
monks at a time know the recipe. The California wine industry began
when Blessed Junipero Serra and his Franciscan brethren brought the
first wine grapes to the region. And its rebirth in Napa County
after Prohibition was thanks in large part to a chemistry teacher
and LaSalle Christian Brother named Brother Timothy...
