St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts is the first American monastery to produce an official Trappist Ale and the first outside of Europe. The abbey was awarded the right to use the “Authentic Trappist Product” logo in 2013.
Congratulations!

Nice! I’ve had the opportunity to try 3 of those. The Belgians are the Kings of beer. If you lived there 20 years I’m not sure you could sample every beer made in Belgium.

If you visit the breweries, pass on the monk’s beer.... It smells like crap, has no alcohol and it absolutely tastes terrible!!! (They don’t want the monks to become alcoholics!!!)
Most of the Trappist breweries add brettanomyces yeast culture at bottling. In Europe they drink it too green for the brettanomyces culture to really impact the taste. However in the USA, due to the shipping time, it has a chance to mature and tastes quite different.

My son’s brewed a Tripel that had had a bell curve flavor.
The first couple of weeks after carbonating the flavor was OK. By the 2nd couple of weeks the flavor was outstanding.
By the next couple of weeks the flavor declined.
Just and 2nd hand brewing observation.

Nice Post.
Sooo many nice ales throughout Belgium. I really enjoy visiting.
Lucky for me the local beer shoppe has a great selection.
