Trappist Beer law

Trappist beer is a type of beer brewed by Trappist monks, primarily in Belgium and the Netherlands. There are strict guidelines governing its production: it must be brewed within a Trappist monastery, overseen by monks, and profits should support the monastery or charitable causes. Authentic Trappist beers carry the "Authentic Trappist Product" logo, ensuring that they meet these criteria. These beers are known for their unique flavors and traditional brewing methods, often featuring rich, complex profiles that reflect the monastic heritage and craftsmanship involved in their production.
