What amazes me is after 400 years the brewery shut down in 1970. That’s actually fairly sad.

- ch4s3 4y agoIt's a good run, but it can be hard to find people who can carry on a tradition like that, especially if the business isn't doing well financially.

- mchaynes 4y ago“especially if the business isn’t doing well financially” seems like a thought terminating cliché tbh
- Kalium 4y agoGenerally convents and monasteries that produce things like beer and cheese and chocolate do so quite specifically for the money. They're not doing it because it's a quaint tradition. It may be a thought-stopping cliche, but it also gets at the central point of why the work was done in the first place.
- rob74 4y agoSad, but that's what happened all over the world around that time: beer production was completely industrialized and commoditized and small breweries just couldn't compete anymore. The craft beer/microbrewery movement started in the US and UK a few years later, but it took some time until it spread to South America.
