Good to know: the Trappist label

Description

A Trappist, or Trappist beer, is a beer brewed in an abbey by or under the supervision of Trappist monks. These Trappist beers are generally produced using "high” fermentation (the yeast rises to the surface of the beer, contrary to what happens with “low” fermentation, where the yeast sinks) and must be brewed respecting the criteria defined by the International Trappist Association if they wish to display this private organisation’s official Authentic Trappist Product logo. The criteria for obtaining this designation are:
* only products made on the site or near the monastery can display the official ATP logo;
* the product must be made by the monks, or under their supervision;
* the bulk of profits must be used for charities with a “social” or non-lucrative nature.
Certain Trappist-inspired beers that do not meet these criteria were commercialised with this appellation up until 1962, when a ruling was passed by the Ghent Court.
Trappist-type beers, such as Leffe or Grimbergen, are considered abbey beers.
