Trappist Ale

Trappist ale refers to a type of beer brewed by Trappist monks in specific monasteries, primarily in Belgium but also in other countries. To be labeled as Trappist, the beer must be brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery, adhering to strict guidelines that emphasize quality and tradition. These ales are typically rich, flavorful, and often have a higher alcohol content. They come in various styles, including Dubbel, Tripel, and Quadrupel, each with distinct tastes and characteristics. The production supports the monastic community, emphasizing craftsmanship and a connection to their religious heritage.
