Belgian monks resurrect brewery after two century break

Belgian monks at the Grimbergen abbey are on the verge of brewing beer again after a break of more than 200 years. The abbey, whose emblem is a phoenix with the Latin motto "Ardet nec consumitur", meaning "Burned but not destroyed", was ransacked and had its brewery smashed in 1795 by French troops.
