Trappist Beers

Trappist beer is nominally brewed by or under Trappist Monks. The brothers evolved a very distinct style of beer, plus a unique beer, Orval, one of my favorites.

There is politics involved. The Dutch monastery, the only non-Belgian one, was denied use of the above logo for a while for getting too much commercial assistance.

Here's a Michael Jackson review of the newest Trappist brewery, and one of an Abbey beer, i.e. not official but in the same style.

Here's one of the mentions we got for our brewery. Though not for the same style of beer, it was great that the Beerhunter got what we were trying to do.

Seek out authentic Trappist brews and get in touch with your spiritual side.
