True, though to my knowledge, at least, the Hacker-Pschorr company
never traditionally produced "Starkbier" (one word, not two) - they're
a big city brewery, catering more to the "Helles" drinkers, and the
monks tended to do their own brewing in places like Andechs, about
20km south of Munich and well worth a visit if you're a drinkin' man.

In these modern times, of course, all the major breweries produce such
special brews during "Starkbierzeit", but that's driven more from
market forces than tradition.  I wouldn't really associate their line
of brews (known by local Munich nicknames like "Terminator",
"Eliminator", "Devastator" and so on) with the genuine monk-brewed
Lent article.  There's really no comparison, if you've tried both.
