Pope Benedict happy living ‘like a monk'... Read more]]> "I live like a monk and I'm fine. I pray and I read," Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI has told a German friend who visited him recently at his new residence in the Mater Ecclesiae monastery in Vatican City.

Monks' beer wins award... Read more]]> Monks at Ampleforth Abbey can celebrate after their beer was named "Best Drink of 2012" at the Deliciously Yorkshire Awards recently.

Their unique Abbey Beer beat off competition from across Yorkshire to walk away with the accolade less than six months since it was first put on the market.

"Although Ampleforth Abbey Beer is based on a centuries old recipe, it's only recently that the public have been able to enjoy it" said Peter Berry, Marketing Executive at Ampleforth Abbey.

"We're delighted that it has achieved this recognition for its quality," he said.

Benedictine monks have brewed beer since the 1600s when some fled to France to during the reformation and developed "la biere anglaise". They returned to England and settled at Ampleforth in 1802.
