One of the main reasons for the rapid spread of monastery breweries from 800 AD on was the strict fasting requirements of the many orders.

For all practical purposes the home-brewed beer was a basic foodstuff during the fasting period.

This is the basis for the expression ?liquid bread?.

Ein Hauptgrund für die rasche Ausbreitung der Klosterbrauereien ab 800 n. Chr. waren die strengen Fastengebote der vielen Orden.

Das selbst gebraute Bier war während der Fastenzeit praktisch Grundnahrungsmittel.

Darauf beruht auch der Begriff "flüssiges Brot".
