WOW..... FROM FARK
VATICAN CITY, ROME -- A German brewery is enjoying new success following a label change, and a "thumbs-up" from a high-profile fan of its beer, German native Pope Benedict XVI.
The Stuttgart brewery "Stuttgarter Hofbreau" had been struggling to sell its wheat beer until a label-change turned business around. Then, Pope Benedict XVI, formerly Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, reportedly gave his approval to the new brand name.
The brewery sent a beer truck to Rome this past weekend to deliver 700 liters, or 185 U.S. gallons of beer to Pope Benedict XVI.
