Trappist breweries

Trappist breweries are beer-making facilities operated by Trappist monks, following strict guidelines set by the International Trappist Association. Originating in Belgium, these breweries produce beer primarily for the sustenance of the monastery and its community, with any extra profits going to charitable causes. To be officially recognized as a Trappist brewery, the beer must be brewed within a monastery, under the supervision of monks, and meet specific quality standards. Trappist beers are known for their rich flavors and traditional brewing methods, making them highly sought after by beer enthusiasts worldwide.
