        MP, La Trappe is actually a Dutch trappist beer…

          Correction: the only Dutch Trappist beer…  I would bet good money that centuries ago they were Belgian, though  🙂

            Thanks for the info… If I'd checked the bottle closer I would have known earlier. But after working late last night my only thought was: "Beer in cupboard... Need to drink beer".

            Edited original post to appear less ignorant (futile, but I do try ;)).

              The (foolish) assumption was: beer brewed in abbeys = Belgian.

                I think I once read on a box of Chimay that there are only 7 Trappist breweries in the world- 6 Belgian, one Dutch.  So based on statistical averages, beer brewed in abbeys = Belgian is usually the right call.

                  From Wiki:

                  There are currently seven breweries that are allowed to have the products they sell display the Authentic Trappist Product logo:

                  Bières de Chimay
                  Brasserie d'Orval
                  Brasserie de Rochefort
                  Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle
                  Brouwerij Westvleteren/St Sixtus
                  Brouwerij der Sint-Benedictusabdij de Achelse Kluis/Achel
                  Brouwerij de Koningshoeven/La Trappe

                  Of course: then there are dozens and dozens of other abbey beers…

                    ^Yep, but those abbey beers are commercialised beers and not actually brewed by monks … there probably will be an eight Trappist later this year called Stift Engelszell from Austria (they haven't officially been granted the label just yet) ...

                      St Feuillien blond. As you know I'm a HUGE fan of their extra blond dégustation beer, so was wondering what the normal blond would taste like. Well: it is enormeously good. Not a tripel, but still a 7.5° beer!.. This and the La Trappe tripel were the two beers I added to my shop's stock a week ago… Both passing with flying colours!..

                                      Tastes fine though :). That's what counts.
