At Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, the monks help make Britain’s only Trappist beer, Tynt Meadow, a dark English ale that is celebrating its fifth anniversary.

The beer, made outside the town of Coalville in the lush countryside of east central England, is named after the nearby field where the abbey’s founders settled in a cottage in 1835. Tynt Meadow is a malty beer, a little like a cross between a stout and an English bitter, with a faint flavor of chocolate. Only beers brewed in monasteries with the active involvement of Roman Catholic Cistercian monks are classified as Trappist products.

“If it’s a day when it hasn’t been blessed, you can guarantee it will all go wrong,” said Ross Adams, a professional brewer who is not religious but was hired recently to help the monks maintain their place within an elite group. The beer has proved so popular that local volunteers help with bottling to relieve the burden on the abbey’s 17 monks.
