About — The Black Abbey Brewing Company
“St Anne, help me! I will become a monk!” Fearing he was suffering God’s judgement, Martin Luther uttered these words while trapped in a fierce thunderstorm in Stotterheim, Germany in 1505. True to his declaration, the one-time law student soon joined the Augustinian monastery in Erfurt, Germany. A few years later he relocated to Wittenberg’s monastery, The Black Cloister, and it was there that he penned his famous Ninety-Five Theses. He nailed the document, which boldly challenged the church establishment, to the Castle Church doors in Wittenberg on Oct. 31, 1517. So began the Protestant Reformation.
