Episode 514: From the Abbey to the Table

Jimmy welcomes the Beer Table team for a surprise tasting of 10 Belgian Trappist Ales. Justin Phillips, Gavin Murphy, Noah Levin, and Evan Rose are in the studio to share the history and flavor profiles of these beers as well as to discuss the naming of dubbels and tripels, the smell of De Dolle's beer, the kinds of beer that abbeys made hundreds of years ago, the popular image of monks with beer, and drinking Belgian abbey ales as opposed to cocktails at a bar. Beer List:Trappistes Rochefort 10The Bruery's MischiefTransmitter Brewing's A4 QuadChimay's Première (Red)Beer Table's Table BeerSt. Bernardus Abt 12Westmalle's Trappist Ale TripelDe Dolle's Stille NachtBrasserie d'Orval's Orval Trappist AleKiuchi Brewery's Hitachino Nest XH The holiday season is all about food and community.
