    Health and nutrition: understanding ale in Medieval monastic life
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2017) Neihart, Braden, author
    Pulling from modern chemistry, archeology, history, and monastic rules, this study seeks to bring to light medieval monks understanding or appreciation of the nutritional benefits of consuming ale. In restricting the study to monasteries in Northern and Western Europe, it will allow for a deeper focus into the monasteries that relied on ale rather than wine. The driving goal is to research the implications of “bread and water” as a punishment that signifies more than a bland diet, but instead punishes wayward monks with a insufficient nutrients that had potential for grave consequences.
