I'm not a big fan of Trappist beer, but the first Trappist Brewery in the United States has opened in the town of Spencer, in central Massachusetts. The Saint Josephs Abbey will begin selling Spencer Trappist Ale this month. To officially qualify as a Trappist Brewery, the beer must be brewed under these conditions:
-The beer must be brewed within the walls of a Trappist abbey, by or under control of Trappist monks.
-The brewery, the choices of brewing, and the commercial orientations must obviously depend on the monastic community.
-The economic purpose of the brewery must be directed toward assistance and not toward financial profit.
