Yep, I saw that in the book. Now you have religious orders (Benedictine
and Trappist) with centuries of tradition crossing lines - talk about a
religious topic.

not Trappist, word is is that they are going to apply for Trappist
designation.

LA TRAPPE REGAINS TRAPPIST SANCTION
Now there are seven "sanctioned" Trappist beers. The International
Trappist
Association has announced it will allow La Trappe
in the Netherlands
to again
use the official Trappist logo on its beers. In
1999, the I.T.A.
withdrew its
logo for all the La Trappe beers after the
agreement concluded by
Koningshoeven Abbey with Bavaria B.V. The Association considered the
situation so confused that it could not guarantee the authentic
provenance of
beers bearing the name of "La Trappe."
Consequently, Koningshoeven
Abbey had
ceased to use the logo. To satisfy the logo
criteria, Koningshoeven
Abbey
recently revised its cooperation agreement with
Koningshoeven Brewery
(a
subsidiary of Bavaria B.V.). In the new
agreement, the position of the
monks
resulted in the Trappist provenance of "La
Trappe" beers being
strengthened
and guaranteed.

MONKS ASK AMERICANS NOT TO BUY THEIR BEER
The monks at the abbey of St. Sixtus of Westvleteren have turned to
one of
America's largest newspaper to make it clear
they don't want their
coveted
beer sold in the United States. Brother Joris,
the monk who oversees
brewing
at Westvleteren as well as running the library,
agreed to be
interviewed by
USA Today for a story about he monastery brewery
so he could to warn
Americans against buying illegally imported Westvleteren. "My message
is,
people should know that the beer arrives there in
a very
un-Trappist-like
way," he said. "It's the result of
a lot of maneuvering in the dark
before it
actually shows up there. "I would advise
your readers not to ask for
or buy
Westvleteren," he said. "You do not
support the Trappist cause by
buying
Westvleteren in the United States."
