Three Traps

We have quite the special brew to talk about today.  Three Trappist breweries ( La Trappe, Tynt Meadow, and Zundert ) have banded together on a new beer: Three Rules of Authentic Trappist. 

“The Three Rules of Authentic Trappist is a full-bodied, perfectly balanced Dubbel. The beer is characterised by a full, layered taste of sweet caramel, toasted malt, and a hint of peat, combined with subtle spicy and hoppy notes. This leads to an unparalleled taste experience with every sip.”

Part of the proceeds of the new beer will benefit Trees for All.

Batch 51

Add this beautifully packaged beer to your treasure hunter list…

La Trappe for their Oak Aged Batch 51 has matured their Quadrupel for 18 months on very fancy Pineau des Charentes Rouge Cognac barrels. Sounds quite luxurious.

There are a lot of collaboration beers out there. I write about many, usually where the beer is not what you expect but in this case it is the partners that you may not have seen coming.

Scotland and Belgium collide with this new beer from La Trappe and BrewDog. May not be one that we see stateside but be on the look out.

We all have little taster glasses from that cool festival from 2012 or the shaker pint from that tap-takeover but what we sometimes don’t have is the appropriate glassware to best enjoy a beer.  Belgian beers especially benefit from the right glass, and you can now get them for Kwak. Tripel Karmeliet and La Trappe.  If you have beer birthdays to buy for these would be great.  Plus they have beer in there too!untitled

La Trappe Jubilaris XXV Anniversary Ale

One of the Beer Search Party’s altar ego’s, (Emphasis on ego) is as the compiler of the weekly L.A. Beer Blast list for Food GPS. In that capacity, I will run across beer name spellings that will make me chuckle and then I will cringe when I make an error.

Well, this beer from La Trappe may be a contender for the most misspelled beer name this year. But that won’t stop me from trying it.
