TORONTO, ON – Beer import agency Silvercreek Import Partners has announced that it has brought North America’s first Trappist beer to Ontario for the first time.

Spencer Brewery was launched in early 2014 by the monks of St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts. One of only 11 Trappist breweries in the world, and the first outside of Europe, its flagship beer is Spencer Trappist Ale, a 6.5% abv Belgian-style ale described as “a full-bodied, sunrise-hued ale with fruity accents, a dry finish and light hop bitterness.”

Spencer Trappist Ale made its Ontario debut earlier this month and is available at select LCBO locations throughout the province. For more details about the release, see the Silvercreek Import Partners website.
