The ranks of Trappist certifed breweries has expanded. And Mount Saint Bernard and the monks living and working in Leicestershire have become the first in the UK added to the tally that stretches from it’s Belgian base to Italy and the US as well.
The first beer from the 12th in line is called Tynt Meadow and is named after the meadow where the monks set down roots starting in 1835.
I would hazard a bet that a future brew is named St. Lutgard’s Day, that is the day that this brewery chose to brew their first batch. Lutgard was known for surviving on bread and beer during fasts.
