During the medieval period, water supplies were contaminated with fecal matter and unfit to drink. The replacement was beer and the monastic orders, especially the Benedictines, gained fame as master brewers. They brewed beer drank by men, women and children. The monks themselves received a guaranteed daily ration of four liters. During the Lenten period, the rations doubled to eight liters because the nutrition from beer was needed due to the fasting. 

The alcohol content for strong beer could be as high as 10-12%. Weak beer had a very low alcohol content -- about 2%. Monks worked to improve their recipes. What we have today is a direct result of their hard work.

Interesting footnote. During the Colonial period in America, a new town could not receive a charter until there was at least one "Public House" or brewery. Water was suspect and should be avoided. Unless there was a Public House, the new community was considered unsanitary.
