Beer can have very special special ingredients: beetroot is one of them, some brewers use lactic acid bacteria, unusual yeasts , fruits and vegetables or spices such as chilies , salt or pepper . The brewers at the Dutch brewery La Trappe also rely on a secret ingredient, but it is completely different than all the raw materials we have just listed.
Hops, malt, yeast and silence
There are talkative brewers and those who are quieter fellows. The brewers at La Trappe belong to the second category, not because a whole bunch of introverts have come together, but because the staff consists of monks. The brewers belong to the League of Trappist Monks and come from the order of the French abbey of Soligny-La-Trappe. An embassy from this abbey fled France at the end of the 19th century and settled in Berkel-Enschot near Tilburg in the Netherlands. The Trappist monks founded a monastery and continued their spiritual work at the new location. In addition to daily prayer, the life of the religious community also includes work in peace and silence and charity. To this day, part of the brewery's profits are donated to charity and the monks support social projects in their region. It is with great pride that they are one of the few breweries in the world that are allowed to bear the Trappist seal. Beers with this distinction are subject to strict rules and must be brewed under the supervision of Trappist monks. The donation of part of the income is also one of the numerous regulations.
A peaceful give and take
La Trappe Trappist has chosen projects in the Netherlands and around the world for its charitable work. They also support a program that helps unemployed people and individuals with disabilities find good jobs and also employ them in the brewery, tasting room and monastery shop. In addition to the social component, the monks attach great importance to sustainability: protecting the environment has always been a concern for the Trappists and is pursued with vigor. The monks of La Trappe have established a sustainable use of water and try to give back to nature as much as possible. The raw materials for the fine beer are purchased from local farmers and the waste products from the brewing process are used as animal feed or for baking bread. Brewing follows an organic cycle governed by peace and quiet. The silence is in every beer and wonderfully complements the powerful, round and harmonious taste of the excellent beers. The Trappist range includes Belgian and Dutch classics such as the Tripel, Wit or Blonde.
