Achel Brewery Loses Trappist Designation

image

From The Tablet UK:

The strict rules for authentic Trappist beer require breweries to be located within a monastery, use revenues for the monastery or charity, and be supervised by a Trappist monk.

St Benedict’s Abbey in Achel, in a northeastern village near the Dutch border, no longer meets the third condition since Prior Gaby, in his 80s and ailing, had to move to the mother abbey in Westmalle in central Belgium.
