English Trappist Beer
English Trappist Beer

1. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip
It's better to lose time with friends than to lose friends with time (Portuguese proverb)
Alone we travel faster
Together we travel further

I can't get either of those to work (the FT one is behind a paywall I think) but I searched the BBC website and found this -

Re: English Trappist Beer
Tynt Meadow is sold in the US so they must have sorted some of their capacity problems. It’s only available in a few states though and I’ve never seen it.
It’s a shame Spencer in Massachusetts didn’t have this problem and stopped brewing. Their beer was excellent but their distributor must have been pants because I rarely saw their beer.

Sommeliers recommend that you swirl a glass of wine and inhale its bouquet before throwing it in the face of your enemy.

A member of our local HB club brought along some of this beer a few years ago. Can’t say I was overly impressed TBH.

Re: English Trappist Beer
Bought a couple of bottles not long after its introduction. Those were poor by any standard, in need of significant improvement to produce a desirable product.

Re: English Trappist Beer
It’s considered outstanding now.

The brown (7.4%) might be the only one available in the US. I’ll buy a bottle if I ever see one but I don’t think it’s distributed near me.

Re: English Trappist Beer
Interesting comments with substantial variance. The two bottles I had were substantially similar, they poured murky brown with a murky brown taste.

Re: English Trappist Beer
Early bottles were definitely murky. Not good.
But I had some a year and a half later and it was excellent.

Re: English Trappist Beer
Thanks for this. If seen again, I'll give it another try. Initially it was just like a poor attempt at homebrewing.

Re: English Trappist Beer
I was just thinking about how the American brewery Ommegang was like that at first. Now they are World Class.
A lot of breweries take a little while to get the kinks out. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of beer a nearby brewpub that when new were awful.
