America is getting its first officially sanctioned Trappist brewery in the United States. The St. Joseph’s Abbey of Spencer, Massachusetts will now be adding brewing to its daily routine. The abbey already sells the line of Trappist preserves, and has done so, since 1954. St Joseph’s has announced their planes to brew 10,000 bbl per year. The first beer will be a Pater, a type of beer made by Belgian breweries. It should be available at retailers by the middle of next week.They have described it as a golden-hued, full-bodied ale.
Trappist monks throughout Europe brew many different types of beer's. From pale ales, dark brown doubles, blonde triples, white biers and strong, dark ales. With so much variety, you could hardly use the word Trappist to describe a particular style of beer. The label guarantees the monastic origin of the product as well as the fact that they measure up to the quality and traditional standards rooted in the monastic life of a Trappist community. They are very proud of crafting products that are considered to be consistently well made, and very flavorful.
