Beer Series: Trappist Breweries
Beer has been brewed at monasteries in Europe since before the Middle
Ages, and one sect of the Benedictine Order, the Trappists, still brew
beer commercially. Trappist breweries produce some of the most revered
beers in the world, and an abbey must meet strict requirements to be
certified as a Trappist brewery. There is rich history and tradition
behind these beers, and their quality is a testament to the patience
and commitment contained in the Trappist motto of ora et labora: pray
and work.
In a two-part series of classes, the Craft Beer Education Series will
look at the history of the Trappist order and the world's 12 certified
Trappist breweries. The classes will be lead by Certified
Cicerone David Nilsen. David will guide attendees through a
tasting of beers from the world's Trappist breweries, explaining what
makes each unique.
Part one of the series will be held on October 30 and November 1
(identical classes), with part two on December 6 and a January date to
be determined. These classes are free, but seats are limited and
registration is required. Please call the Greenville Public
Library at 937-548-3915 to reserve your seat. We hope to see you
there!
