Title: Good news for Beer Lovers..if you can afford it. Trappist Monk Brewery in US
Post by: Solus on December 13, 2013, 03:54:26 PM

Beer brewed in the 8 (out of 180) Trappists Monasteries has been rated as some of the best in the world...but it is only produced within the monastery walls, so volume is low.

 Dec. 10, Saint Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Mass., will become the first American brewery to be manned exclusively by Trappist monks.

The beer, labeled “The Spencer Trappist Ale,” is to be brewed exclusively within the walls of the monastery.

Bet it will sell better than jellies, and jams.

Sounds good, although they shoulda named it Spenser (with an s, like the poet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spenser_(character))), after a certain Boston-based detective with a love of good beer....
