Mike and Alexandra explore an unofficial feast of the liturgical calendar to discuss:
- Nonalcoholic beer
- Sour beer
- Wheat beer
- The origin of Lammas Day
- -mas Days
Drinks of the Week:
Martin House Brewing Company “Key Lime Pie Sour Ale”
Athletic Brewing Company “Atlética”
“Mas” Holidays
The definitions of these words, in chronological order, are:
- Uphalimass, Epiphany, January 6--“up” can mean "completed, over" and “hali” is short for haliday or holiday. Epiphany is the end of the Christmas holidays
- Twelfthmas Day, Epiphany, January 6 (Anglo-Saxons; see Parker, WITW, 80)
- Candlemas, The Purification of the BVM, February 2--from the blessing of candles on this day
- Ladymas, The Annunciation of the BVM, March 25 (although it can also pertain to just about any Marian feast)
- Georgemas, St. George, April 23
- Crouchmas, “Cross Mass,” the Feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross, May 3
- Johnsmas, St. John the Baptist, June 24
- Petermas, St. Peter [and St. Paul], June 29. Originally, though, it was the Feast of St. Peter in Chains, August 1
- Lammas, “Loaf Mass”, August 1. Lammas Day was never officially on the calendar, but it was still a big deal in England and Ireland, when a loaf made from the first grains of the harvest was taken to church and blessed
- Marymass or Marymas (aka Lady-Day-in-Harvest), The Assumption of the BVM, August 15
- Ellenmas, St. Helen, August 18 [1]
- Latter Marymass. The Nativity of the BVM, September 8. If Assumption Day is the first Mary Mass of the season, Mary’s birthday is the occasion for the “later Mary Mass”--at least before the institution of the Feast of the Seven Sorrows of the BVM on September 15 centuries later
- Roodmas, The Exaltation of the Holy Cross, September 14. A “rood” is a crucifix placed on top of a rood screen, that is, lifted high or exalted, as in the "Dream of the Rood". It's amazing how precise our language can be about crosses
- Michaelmas, St. Michael the Archangel, September 29
- Lukesmas, St. Luke, October 18
- Hallowmas, All Saints’ Day, November 1
- Saumas, All Souls’ Day, November 2 (not to be confused with a “Soul Mass,” i.e., a Requiem Mass)
- Martinmas or Martlemas, St. Martin of Tours, November 11
- Andrewmass or Andermas, St. Andrew, November 30
- Christmas or Christenmas, December 25
- Childermas, Holy Innocents, December 28
- Kermas or Kermis, a “church Mass,” that is, the anniversary of the dedication of a church. The term quickly migrated to an “annual fair or carnival, characterized by much noisy merry-making” or, in the U.S., a festival held for charitable purposes.

EP7: St. Giles, the Arrowhead, and How to Drink Like a Saint, Pt. 1 Mike and Alexandra discuss St. Giles, the incredible story of how he got his sustenance, and the unfortunate results of poor hunter’s safety training in France in the 600’s.

St. Giles: September 1st
Drink: The Arrowhead 1 Egg White 1 oz Whiskey ¼ oz. Sweet Vermouth ¼ oz. Dry Vermouth 1 oz. Lemon juice
Pour all ingredients into a shaker without ice and dry shake forty times. Then add ice and shake again. Strain into a cocktail glass.

Why celebrate snow in August and how was the date of the Feast of the Transfiguration selected? How do you “muddle” something properly? How do you “build” a drink? Today Mike and Alexandra explore these and other topics, including the very controversial question of “shaken or stirred?” They discuss how James Bond’s preferred Vodka Martini is wrong on so many levels, but how it may have made sense when it was first written about.
Our Lady of the Snows: August 5th, dedication of Mary Major in Rome The Transfiguration: August 6th, why? Listen to find out!
Drink: Roman Punch 1oz Lemon Juice 1oz Grenadine 1oz Light rum 1oz Brandy 1/2oz Port
“Build” in a highball glass filled with crushed ice Add Lemon Juice Then Grenadine Then Light rum Then Brandy Then Port
Admire, take a picture, then stir and drink. Instagram #drinkingwiththesaintspodcast #RomanPunch
