A fruity, strong ale made by secular brewers in Belgium and based on the products of the Trappist abbeys.
Though only five Trappist breweries still exist in Belgium, the number used to be greater. The last to cease production was the Benedictine monastery at Affligem (during WWII). "Yeah, but I can still buy Affligem" you might say, and you'd be right.

 | Altbier or Alt German for “old” or “traditional,” referring to the way beer was brewed in Germany prior to the 19thcentury. After a warm fermentation this hybrid was lagered for several months in ice-cold caves. This mellowed the fruitiness typical of top-fermented ale. This style has a pronounced bitterness, with subdued hop flavor and aroma compared to pils. Great with brie cheese, deli sandwiches, and hamburgers. The serving glass is similar to a highball glass and the ale’s temperature should be about 50 degrees F.. |

 | This style can range from a golden to light copper color. American Ales are characterized by the American variety hops used to produce high hop bitterness, flavor, and aroma. Complimentary foods include steak, lamb, and hamburgers.
Carefully brewed with caramel malted barley from America's Heartland for a beautiful, rich amber color and sweet malt character and fry-hopped with Cascade hops from the Pacific Northwest for a noticeably citrus aroma. |

 | Barley wine is not wine at all, but possesses many wine-like characteristics contributed principally by its high alcohol content, usually between 6 to 12% by volume. These beers are often aged for 18 months or more to mature the flavors and can be cellared for up to 25 years. Barley wines have a velvety texture, a fruity, smokey palate and a hint of acidity with a warm alcohol finish. Barley wine is a mean in itself and does not compliment food very well. Potential pairings include chocolate candy and various desserts. It should be served at room temperature. |
