From as early as the legend of Friar Tuck, monks have been associated with beer, both in its consumption, as with Robin Hood's principal cleric, and with its production. These two elements are visible here to help advertise a local brand of beer, in a good-natured image of a (drunk?) monk, presiding over a congregation of kegs, blessing his stein. Beer 89.
