Inspired by Bavarian Monks, Paddy Long’s Owner Lives on Beer for Lent - Eater Chicago
"This year, a Chicago bar owner is opting for a historic take on Lent by eschewing food in favor of beer, a practice originated by Bavarian Paulaner monks in the 17th Century, according to Chicago. Pat Berger, owner of bacon-centric Paddy Long’s in Lakeview and Kaiser Tiger in the West Loop, is sustaining himself with four doppelbocks per day." - Naomi Waxman
