The mother of all triples – this is what the world-famous Trappist Triple beer from the Westmalle Trappist brewery in Belgium is called. Only a few breweries are allowed to bear the Trappist seal; it is a special quality feature and shows that the beer is still brewed by monks today.
Eat, Pray, Brew
Westmalle Abbey was founded in 1794 by Cistercian monks. In addition to their contemplative work with God, they dedicated themselves to the craft of cheese making and beer brewing. The craft work was originally intended as a balance to prayer and contemplation and still is today. In addition, the cheese and beer bring in much-needed money, which is used for charities and social projects in the area around the abbey. Originally, the monks from Westmalle brewed the good beer only for their own use. On December 10, 1836, the monks served their brothers their first ever home-brewed beer for lunch. Because they didn't want to keep their homemade delicacy for themselves out of charity, they eventually started selling the beer at the monastery gate from time to time. Their home-brewed product aroused enthusiasm and the monks were forced to expand the brewery and brew commercially.
In order for a beer to be called Trappist beer, it must be brewed by monks and part of the proceeds from the sale of the beer must be used for the benefit of the people. The monks pursue their craft with the greatest care. For example, the men still milk the milk for their cheese themselves.
Anything that lasts a long time tastes even better
Just as peaceful and meditative as one imagines life in a monastery, one can also imagine the production of beers in the monastery brewery. Trappist Triple and Dubble are not beers that you can just shake out of your sleeve; they take time to produce. After the beer is brewed, sugar and yeast are added again so that it can ferment a second time in the bottle. But that's not all, after this step the beer is stored in the cellar and allowed to mature there for a while. Only then is the creation complete and the monks satisfied with their work. The end result speaks for itself: heavy fruit notes combine with a deep bitterness, pleasant alcohol notes underline the play of aromas - a real treat for beer connoisseurs and those who want to become one.
A taste experience that you have to try!
