The beer is actually called "Monty Python Holy Grail" and has the motto on the label "Tempered over burning witches."
I have a picture of it here:

Wunderbar!!! Tom and Jeff, cheers to you both.
I bet consistories were a good time with Cardinal Joe around!
Can't help but crack a smile while I enjoy a nice cold Labatt Blue...as the guy on Big Daddy said..Canadian beer..its like moonshine! I can only imagine how delicious Bavarian stuff is....I love our Pope
Hmm . . . I was just about to lay in my store of Newcastle to watch the Patriots complete their "infallible season" on Sunday . . . maybe I can find some Holy Grail instead.
Fun stuff!
Of course, one reads other stories which claim that he likes wine better than beer, and he's certainly not a big drinker of either.
(He likes Orangina, by all accounts; and after hard exercise, the traditional Bavarian beer mixed with lemonade drink, which sounds vile to me. But then, Bavarians are apparently the people who make lemon anise cookies instead of normal anise cookies. Maybe it's a Vitamin C craving, from living up in the mountains.) :)
Great post, Thomas. I linked it on my blog.
You're right, why didn't we think of this before?
Well, at least we know what gift we can give if he doesn't like the altar, lectern, and chair!
Tell him to keep the beer and give back "his" cathedral.
Have you seen this yet? Love the picture and nice to have a blessing too!

They sell Wheat (Weizen) Hacker-Pschorr beer from Munich in all our stores, as well as the regular Pilsen-type. It is not bad for being imported. German beer can only be made according to the purity laws from the 16th century, so it has to good! It is pure beer!
I had a pint of the "Holy Grail" beer when I was in an Irish pub in GR, MI. After carefully assessing the label, I concluded that it was an "unabashed blasphemous beer" :)
