Distinguished as the only American ale to bear the authentic Trappist mark, this drink embodies the devotion of the monks who made it. Brewed in the abbey walls by the minks with proceeds going to living expenses and charity, this IPA lessens the hops in order to bring a balance, like the ones sought by the monks themselves.

La Trappe Tripel, yet another bearing the authentic Trappist mark, so you know your in for something divine. With a golden color straight out of an illuminated manuscript this ale is not for the faint of heart, with the distinction of being a triple. A peach-like aroma gives way to an almost candy-like and malty taste, finishing dry. This is one drink where you want to take your time and bask in the beautiful light passing through it, like a stained glass window picturing the dawn.

Another beer bearing the official mark of the Trappist minks, Chimay’s Grand Reserve is not one to miss.

There can be no profits, with proceeds going towards the monks living expenses and the rest to charity. Now that is what we call a holy brew.
