MONKS AND LA TRAPPE - BEER, GOES TOGETHER?











good day friends , followers and writers,
another sunny day in The Philippines,21-31 degrees Celcius,cloudy.
Question:does it go together :MONKS AND BEER?and Beer labels with Monk names on it?

First i give you some examples (photos):Palm beer (NL),Red Horse beer (PH), La Trappe beer, Koningshoeven Trappist Ale for usa&canada,(Monks Trappist beers), Trappist beer from Achel,BE,the socalled abbey O.L.V.Achelse Kluis,Monasterie in Belgium, St.Bernardus Abt12 beer,Belgium, barley-wine, sebada,10,5% alcohol, drink temperature 6-10 degrees C., Isi'dor kleinTrappist beer from Abbey O.L.V.Koningshoeven,Berkel Enschot The Netherlands.(only this year, 125 years of existence ).
The Rules for Monks written by St.Benedict do not conflict with producing beer, on the contrary,labour work and praying go together, while you work you have no time to talk, you work for your Lord and you have time to pray in silence.The general atmosphere is of silence,The Spirit of Christ calls the Monks to a life of simplicity, hiddenness, WORK,prayer, SERVICE, and hospitality, even for serving and tasting beer, so donot worry, go to the Abbey and buy beer!!
God bless you all.
