The brewery at St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, opened in 2013 and benefits from the help of the monks of the Notre-Dame de Scourmont abbeywhere the famous Trappist beer of Chimay is brewed.
Three criteria are required for a Trappist beer to display the mention “authentic” (“Authentic trappist product“): part of the proceeds must be paid to social works, the beer must imperatively be brewed within a Trappist abbey, and under the supervision of monks of this order.
