0:00:00 Hi viewers! This is John.
0:00:02 and here is a review on Europe's top monastic breweries.
0:00:05 For some of us, drinking beer is akin to a religious experience, so sampling a Trappist beer and visiting a monastic brewery is a match made in heaven.
0:00:13 Brewed exclusively by Trappist monks in their monasteries, these breweries were born out of the desire for the community to be self-sufficient and selling beer helped move towards this.
0:00:21 Europe is the epicentre for these world-conquering breweries, and we’ve selected a few of the best.
0:00:26 There’s a reason the monks at Westvleteren Brewery in Belgium are so secretive – they produce what’s dubbed by many as the best beer in the world.
0:00:33 Housed in the Trappist Abbey of Saint Sixtus, the brewery was opened in the late 1830s, but didn’t begin selling the beer until about a century later.
0:00:40 26 monks live here, five of them are in charge of brewing the beer, while another five bottle it.
0:00:45 This happens on an incredibly micro-scale (they brew the least amount of beer of any Trappist brewery), producing just enough beer to sustain the abbey, which means coming into possession of one of their three types of beers is a tricky process.
0:00:56 Take one sip of the iconic yellow-capped Westvleteren 12, and you’ll be swept up into its smooth, maltiness, laced with nut, cherry and wood tones.
0:01:03 There’s also the Westvleteren Blonde 6, for blonde ale fans, and the fruity, amber Westvleteren 8 for anyone looking for a wonderful crowd-pleaser.
0:01:11 Due to demand, you’ll need to call the brewery in advance if you’d like to pick up a crate, or simply head to their onsite shop.
0:01:17 Sleep off the drinks at Guesthouse Recour, in nearby Poperinge.
0:01:20 The Netherlands has two trappist breweries, with De Koningshoeven Brewery being the larger and more well-known producer.
0:01:26 The Abbey was established back in 1881, but it wasn’t until 1928 that their first ale, the ‘La Trappe Blond’, was introduced.
0:01:33 Though the brewery has collaborated with other manufacturers and breweries over the years, the beer is always brewed by the monks.
0:01:39 Their most notable beer is La Trappe Quadrupel – a dark, heavy ale, with hints of clove, vanilla and raisins.
0:01:45 It is also the first beer of its kind, using four times the amount of malt in production than standard Trappist ales.
0:01:51 Luckily there are lighter options including the Witte Trappist (a light, wheat beer) and the La Trappe Bockbier, a smoky seasonal ale that will leave a lingering taste of roasted coffee in your mouth.
