Description

The Trappist monks of Westmalle, just north of Antwerp, claim their beers not only cure loss of appetite and insomnia, but reduce stress by half. Whatever the truth, the prescription certainly tastes good. The Westmalle Tripel, is deliciously creamy and aromatic. Westmalle is the first Trappist brewery in Belgium (Westmalle) starting operation as early as 1836. The name "Tripel" actually stems from part of the brewing process, in which brewers use up to three times the amount of malt than a standard Trappist "Simple."
