You will want to check this out!  The fine folks at Monastery Greetings have a fantastic collection of beers and barware from monestaries across the US and across the globe.  Why would I order beer from a monastery, you ask?  Because monks (salute to the Trappist brothers) make some of the most outstanding and sought after beers in the world.  With monasterygreetings.com you can order those tasty treasures in the comfort of your slippers -- no need to update your passport photo.  Don't forget to check out the cheeses, jellies and fudge to go with your beer!
