Trappist beers
Trappist beers are a unique category of ale brewed by monks in Trappist monasteries, primarily in Belgium and the Netherlands. To earn the Trappist label, these beers must be brewed within monastery walls, with profits supporting the monastic community and charitable causes. There are currently 14 confirmed Trappist breweries worldwide. Trappist beers are known for their rich flavors and traditional brewing methods, often featuring complex profiles with fruity, spicy, and malty notes. Notable styles include Dubbel, Tripel, and Quadrupel, each varying in strength and taste, appealing to both beer enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.
