Jeg planlegger en øltur til Nederland og Belgia i uke 40. Opprinnelig er jeg fra en by som heter Tilburg i Nederland. På en steinkast fra hvor jeg er oppvokst ligger Abdij Koningshoeven, hvor nederlandsk trappistøl blir laget av monker.
“When they live by the labor of their hands,....then they are really monks.” That was written by Benedict, the “architect” of Western monasticism. According to his guidelines, monks should earn their own living. The Trappists who came to Berkel-Enschot in 1881 began supporting themselves with farming and cattle breeding, but for the growing community, it quickly became obvious that the profits from the poor-quality land were inadequate to make ends meet. That’s why, in 1884, the monks decided to begin brewing Trappist beer.

Jeg skal ta sykkelen til klosteren for å hilse på disse:
'Blond' 6.5% alcohol) is a clear, sparkling lager of high fermentation, attuned to European taste and always good. It is characterized by the use of refined hops, giving the beer a slightly bitter aftertaste and a distinctively refreshing but fragrant aroma.
'Dubbel' (7% alcohol) is a warm, ruby-red Trappist. This beer has a soft, fragrant, but above all refreshing, character.
'Tripel' (8% alcohol) is a dark Trappist lager with a fruity, bittersweet taste.
'Quadrupel' (10% alcohol) is the heaviest specialty from La Trappe. The taste is full, mild and pleasantly bitter. This beer is bottled by date.
