    No beer thread can be complete without the Patron Saint of beer:
    THE PATRON SAINT OF BREWERS AND BEER: SAINT ARNOLD <BLOCKQUOTE><font size=2 face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><table border="0" width="90%" bgcolor="#333333" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"><tr><td width="100%"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" bgcolor="#FF9900"><tr><td width="100%" bgcolor="#DDDDDD"><font size=2 face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">"The 11th-century Benedictine who became St. Arnold is the patron saint of Belgian brewers. He is said to have been born in Tiegem (in what is now the heartland of west Flanders "red" beer); was a monk at the abbey of St M?dard, at Soissons (near the Champagne town of Rheims); and later a bishop. Arnold bounded the abbey of Oudenburg, between Ostend and Bruges (he has also been linked with Oudenaarde).

    "At a time of plague, Arnold is said to have immersed his crucifix in a brew-kettle; thus encouraging the populace to drink beer, rather than water. Suddenly, the plague ended. The water had probably been communicating the infection, while beer -- being boiled during production -- remains a much safer drink. Another story has Arnold miraculously producing beer after the destruction of an abbey brewery."</font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></BLOCKQUOTE>We should all aspire to his greatness.
