Because beer is so much more than just a tasty drink to refresh and invigorate the spirit, there are numerous specimens with a beautiful history. Brewery pieces are dedicated to saints, mark milestones in the history of a brewery, are brewed for festive occasions, honor the commitment and commitment of certain people or record an event for eternity. In the case of La Trappes Isid’or, it is an anniversary beer in honor of a very special person.
In 2009, the brewery from Berkel-Enschot in the Netherlands celebrated the 125th anniversary of the Onze Lieve Vrouw van Koningshoeven Abbey. Brewery and monastery are closely interwoven: As one of the 13 Trappist breweries worldwide, La Trappe bears the Trappist seal and thus confirms that its beer is still brewed in the monastery today.
It all started with brother Isidorus Laaber. He was the abbey’s first master brewer and in 1884 laid the foundation for the ongoing success story. The man of God is considered to be the founding father of the brewery at La Trappe and was given his own beer for the abbey’s anniversary. Isid’or is a strong ale that flows into the glass in a bright copper red and tastes of candied fruit and creamy caramel. The specialty inspires with a whopping 7.5% alcohol content and does Isidorus credit.
