A Geocaching Social event.
PLEASE LOG YOUR "WILL ATTEND"
Third Tuesday continues for another year. New format this year and new venues.
Our scheduled hours are always soft, the CO will usually be early and is always happy to hang around late. Frankly when we get going we often run later than scheduled.
PLEASE NOTE with your log if you do not expect to arrive until after 7:00PM, and I'll be sure to hold out for your arrival.
Trappist Beer
Trappist beer is brewed by Trappist monks. Fourteen monasteries—six in Belgium, two in the Netherlands, and one each in Austria, Italy, England, France, Spain and the United States—currently produce Trappist beer as members of the International Trappist Association (ITA). However, the Authentic Trappist Product label is assigned by the ITA to the beer products of just eleven breweries which meet their strict criteria.
To qualify as Trappist the beer must meet the following criteria: 1) The beer must be brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery, either by the monks themselves or under their supervision. 2) The brewery must be of secondary importance within the monastery and it should witness to the business practices proper to a monastic way of life. 3) The brewery is not intended to be a profit-making venture. The income covers the living expenses of the monks and the maintenance of the buildings and grounds. Whatever remains is donated to charity for social work and to help persons in need.
Trappist beers are mostly top-fermented, including La Trappe Bockbier, and mainly bottle conditioned. Trappist breweries use various systems of nomenclature for the different beers produced which relate to their relative strength.
The best known is the system where different beers are called Enkel/Single, Dubbel/Double, Tripel/Triple and Quadrupel/Quadruple. These terms roughly describe both the amount of malt and the original gravity.
