Trappist Beers (Trappist Monks)

Trappist beers are brewed by Trappist monks or under their supervision within monastery breweries that adhere to strict standards. Originating from the Trappist Order of monks in Belgium and the Netherlands, these beers emphasize tradition, quality, and authenticity. Only beers brewed on monastery grounds and meeting specific criteria—such as being produced for sustaining the monastery and sold commercially—can be labeled as Trappist. Known for their rich flavors and high craftsmanship, these beers often feature complex, balanced profiles that reflect centuries of brewing expertise and monastic dedication to excellence.
