Unusual phrasing

Now here's a phrase you don't see very often: a life of seclusion, prayer, manual labour and....wait for it... beer-brewing.
Perhaps we should!(and see this story)
The making of wine (in the south) and the brewing of beer (in the north) is actually prescribed by St Benedict for his monks. The rule says that each brother should have one pint of wine or beer provided each day. It was a different time, and a different way of life.
Some of the great by-products have been Benedictine and Chartreuse. Various types of Mead, Wines and of course Beers. In our State, although not of Benedictine origin we must not forget Sevenhill run by the Society of Jesus.
Well done to the good and Holy Brothers of Westvleteren
