    it is fair to say that the city of munich was founded on beer. christian monks established a settlement there in the ninth century and began to brew a tasty mixture of malt and hops which they probably used to help "convert" local inhabitants to their religion. nowadays, st. peter church stands on the site where the monks founded their settlement.
    若说慕尼黑是因啤酒而建,并不夸张。九世纪时,基督教僧侣在当地建立了一个定居点,并开始酿造某种将麦芽及啤酒花混合而成的美味饮料,他们曾经利用这种饮料来帮助他们令当地居民皈依基督教。今天,圣彼得教堂便坐落在当时僧侣建定居点的地方。
