Many monasteries produce goods like beer, cheese, and preserves as a part of their self-sustaining economy, often adhering to specific guidelines that emphasize quality, tradition, and modesty. Trappist breweries are renowned for their high-quality, flavorful beers brewed under strict conditions, occurring within monastic life, often for charity or community support. These beers exemplify a heritage of craftsmanship, discipline, and spiritual dedication.
