Ora et Labora.
Trappist brothers live their lives according to the doctrine of St Benedict, a doctrine based on four common pillars: prayer, study, work and spiritual reading. The Trappists of Koningshoeven have been brewing beer for generations. It all began here, in the old brewery, with the production of the special beers La Trappe Dubbel and La Trappe Tripel.
An important ingredient is malt. According to traditional La Trappe recipes, 4 types of malt are mixed, in the correct amounts and composition.
Today beer brewery De Schaapskooi has an extremely modern brewery, assuring the quality of the beer to be of a constantly high level. But, despite all progress, the beer is still brewed as it was 100 years ago. And thus maintains its original authentic La Trappe character.
After the beer has ripened in the lager tanks for some weeks, it is poured into barrels...
and into bottles. By adding more yeast and sugar, the beer continues to ferment in the bottle. This brings out the full flavour of La Trappe even more.
The colourful labels ensure that the Netherlands' only Trappist beer receives all the attention it deserves. The beer lover enjoys his La Trappe at any time, but the Trappists of Koninghoeven usually only enjoy their beer on Sundays and public holidays.
