The abbey was founded in 1881 by Trappist monks who had left France, and they started brewing to fund the community.
La Trappe covers a range of rich, bottle-conditioned Belgian-style ales, from the amber Dubbel to the fruity, spicy Quadrupel. It's brewed and bottled inside Koningshoeven Abbey, where visitors can still taste it in the on-site tasting room.
Why it's made this way: Brewed at Koningshoeven Abbey in Berkel-Enschot, Noord-Brabant, since 1884, it's one of the handful of genuine Trappist breweries left in the world and the older of the two in the Netherlands.
