This little piece of news slipped right by me but it looks as though we have another official Trappist brewery to add to the fold. Tre Fontane Abbey in Rome now joins (the beer names follow, not the abbey names) Westvleteren, Westmalle, Chimay, Rochefort, Orval, Achel, La Trappe, Stift Engelszell, Spencer and Zundert. The abbey will be making one beer at the moment, a Tripel with a shared Trappist yeast. Where it differs will be with the addition of eucalyptus leaves, this sounds like an odd addition but the abbey has been using eucalyptus in liquers and other products for years so let’s assume they know what they are doing.
