Ale And Not So Hearty

Sad news as one of Belgium's six authentic #Trappist breweries loses its ATP accreditation as its last monk, Prior Gaby, has had to leave the #Achel monastery #Belgium #beer

To qualify for the all-important ATP designation (authentic Trappist product), the beer has to be brewed by monks, or under the direct supervision of monks, within the grounds of a Trappist monastery. Monies raised from the sale of the beer goes to maintaining the monastery with all other profits being donated to charities and community projects. Belgium’s number of accredited ATP breweries has…

Review #5

I am beginning to realize trappist ales are my favorite. This is a sensational beer. So fruity and balanced. Sweet and bright. 9/10

Feeling bleu . . .

[charadriusnivosus]

For me, I think the only sensible way to do alcohol is to closely and carefully match various wines and spirits with dishes, and not as the sole beverage accompanying, either. It would be more suitable like: an apertif wine during a meal, and after water and food, bringing out spirits like rum or maybe a really good tequila or whiskey, with uh- board games like chess or poker.

The liqueurs seem good as a novelty thing when you’re paying attention, akin to (nice) tea, amaretto is good to slip into coffee if it’s cold outside, perhaps, and mixed drinks are great as a novelty thing, they’re kind of fun. Still working thru the ones that you do with egg whites, unexpectedly creamy.

Ale And Not So Hearty (2)

#Austria's only #Trappist #brewery is in danger of closing for good. #Beer #Ale

It is not news that has been shouted out from the rooftops, but another Trappist brewery is about to lose its coveted Authentic Trappist Product (ATP) label, only given to those ales whose brewing is supervised by a member of the Trappist order. Austria’s only designated ATP brewery is situated at Engelszell monastery on the banks of the Danube, a former Cistercian abbey that was resettled by…

Just bought my dad a 12-pack of *fancy* Belgian Trappist beer which probably was not smart if he doesn't like it but it didn't come in 6 and they only had 3 singles left
