There was a member that has not posted in a long time with the Handle of Brewmonk. He was a brother at the Benedictine Abby in Norcia Italy, and had started a brewery there. I was glad to see the report that the Abbey was damaged by the recent earthquake, but all of the brothers were OK.

Just one of those things that pops into your head when you hear the news, and then you go, wait I know that town somehow.

Your memory is better than mine!  Glad to hear they're OK.
