This will be our first time trying these beers.

The first beer from this group we will publish a beer review on will be from the Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, Tynt Meadow Trappist Ale. Released in 2018- it has gained wide praise; it’s about time we tried it! The Mount Saint Bernard Abbey in Leicestershire, England is the newest Trappist Abbey to start a brewery, and to earn the legal right to be called an AUTHENTIC TRAPPIST PRODUCT by the International Trappist Association.

Of course, the Westmalle Trappist Extra will have its beer review following immediately afterward. Released to the public in 2001, the Extra is considered what is known as a Table beer (Bière de table in French, Tafelbier in Dutch). It is the beer that the Westmalle monks enjoy with their meals. At only 4.8% ABV, it is a beer that is refreshing and light. We can’t wait to try it as well.

Stay tuned for these next two upcoming beer reviews to Beer Review Journal.

That’s why the folks at TripelDay.com decided to create International Tripel Day – a day dedicated to honoring and enjoying one of the world’s greatest beer styles.

International Tripel Day was born in February 2022, while they were enjoying a bottle of Westmalle Tripel and reflecting on the lack of representation of this style at their local breweries. They asked themselves, “Why isn’t there a day to celebrate the mighty and enigmatic Tripel, like there are for other beer styles?” And so, they decided to make it happen.

From this day forward, March 3rd – the Third day of the Third month – will be a day devoted to Belgian Tripels and all the joy they bring. So mark your calendars and join us in celebrating International Tripel Day!
