Trappistenbier (Trappist beer)

Trappistenbier, or Trappist beer, is a type of beer brewed by Trappist monks within a Trappist monastery. It is known for its high quality, traditional brewing methods, and adherence to specific standards. These beers often feature rich, complex flavors and vary from light to strong in alcohol content. Importantly, the primary purpose of Trappist brewing is not profit; a significant portion of proceeds supports the monastery and charitable causes. To be officially classified as Trappist beer, it must meet strict criteria, including being brewed on-site by monks or under their supervision, and maintaining a commitment to authenticity and quality.
