An Interesting piece on Germans and their Beer
I saw no lack of beer drinking while in Germany this past summer. I love German beers, I think German and Bavarian Pilsners are the most balanced and well crafted beers in the world. This article gives great look at the German beer industry and how it got that way.
Trappist Brewery Opens in U.S.
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.
