American Trappists Brew First Non European Beer
St Joseph's Abbey in Spencer Massachusetts begins selling Trappist beer becoming the first such beer brewed outside Europe. Monks consulted Belgian brethren, built a state of the art brewery, and launched a 50 to 100 year project amid debates over cost and tradition. The venture aims to uphold authentic Trappist quality.
