THE BENEDICTINE MONK WAS A MAN AHEAD OF HIS TIME

He passionately promoted the magically healing powers that breaking bread + sharing a drink could deliver in bringing communities + people together. He travelled far + wide on a pub pilgrimage across Europe,

spreading this message in acclaimed brewhouses from Bruge to Bavaria + continually searching for more, until he had an epiphany in

1886, Manchester.

Attracted by the warmth + hospitality of the local community, he realised that instead of constantly searching for more, he should be

happy with what he has – his wandering ceased.

What’s more, Benedict’s immortal quote ‘You may go further + fare worse’ rings just as true today. So, be sure to pop in when you pass.
