The is a free event, pre-purchasing a Trappist beer flight guarantees you a seat.
Monks have brewed some of the most revered beers in the world for a millenia. For some, like the Trappists, this was not for profit, but to sustain monastic life and support charitable work.
From the quiet abbeys of medieval Europe to the globally celebrated breweries of Belgium and the Netherlands today, Trappist beer represents one of the longest continuous brewing traditions in human history.
Join us on Tuesday, June 3 at 6:00 for an engaging and story-driven talk exploring how this remarkable tradition developed. We’ll trace the origins of monastic brewing, the rise of the Trappist orders, and how their disciplined way of life shaped the beers we know today.
Along the way we’ll explore:
• Why monks brewed beer in the first place
• How monasteries became centres of brewing excellence
• The difference between Trappist and Abbey beer
• The unique rules that govern Trappist brewing today
• The stories behind famous monasteries like Westmalle, Chimay, and Orval
This talk is informal, fascinating, and designed for both beer lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
Seats are limited.
Reserve yours by pre-purchasing a Trappist beer flight to enjoy during the talk. We have Chimay Blue, Chimay 175 (anniversary beer), Westmalle Duo, and St. Bernardus ABT 12.
Grab a drink, take a seat, and discover the extraordinary story behind the monks who brew.
