For centuries, Trappist monks have brewed some of the world’s most revered beers. Not for profit, but to sustain monastic life and charitable work. Their breweries have shaped the history of European brewing and continue to produce some of the most distinctive and influential beers ever made.
Join us for a guided tasting exploring the history, spirituality, and brewing traditions of Trappist beer. We’ll trace the development of monastic brewing from its early foundations through to the modern Trappist breweries of Belgium and the Netherlands, examining how these communities balance tradition, craft, and livelihood.
The evening includes a curated tasting flight (150ml pours each) of an abbey single, Abbey ale, double, tripel and quadruple:
Good Cheer Pattersbier
Orval
Chimay Rouge (Abbey Dubble)
Westmalle Trippel
La Trappe Quadrupel
Alongside each beer, we’ll discuss the origins of Trappist brewing, the role of monasteries in European beer culture, and what makes these beers distinct in both process and philosophy.
This is a relaxed but deeply informative session designed for anyone interested in beer history, European traditions, and exceptional brewing.
Seats are limited to maintain an intimate, discussion-driven atmosphere.
