Talk:Trappist beer

message: Edit wars on a completely benign subject, classic wikipedia. So anyway, looking for information on Trappist Beer via Google and of course I am taken to here. Overall pretty good information on the page, but I was suprised to find no mention of the Trappist chalice type glass that is a prerequisite for drinking Trappist beer. Any plans to add this, or should I start tracking down sources? --Coldbourne (talk) 03:30, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what you are looking for. Each monastery produces its own glass, but, in Belgium, that is also true for virtually all brewers. The glass shapes have changed over the years. There is, in the external links in the article, a link to a person's glass collection. You can see there how the glasses have changed over the years. I'm not sure what else can be said about the subject. Mikebe (talk) 09:21, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Before to read more wrong information on Wikipedia about the beer sold by the french abbey of Sainte Marie du Mont des Cats
here is more information about that beer
After long years without beer at the Mont des Cats, the creation of a "trappist beer of the Mont des Cats" was officially announced on Thursday June 9, 2011. It is sold on the Mount since Thursday June 16, 2011. That new trappist beer is compliant to the legal criteria and definitions which were enacted by different courts of justice (notably those of Ghent and Brussels); it will be produced initially by the brewery of Chimay (Scourmont) on behalf of the abbey of the Mont des Cats. 
The community of the Mont des Cats will take time to evaluate the opportunity of reinstalling a brewery inside the abbey (but nobody knows yet if they will do it or not). The getting of the "authentic trappist product" label could be examined by the ITA (international trappist association) in a near future. The decision to allow (or not) the beer to wear the heagonal logo will probably take months. The ITA is an association composed of various Trappists communities, which created the "Authentic Trappist Product" (ATP) label; this association is a real moral authority on the matter, without however being a legislative or jurisprudential reference.
As stated on the website of the International Trappist Association (french version) : "La 'Mont des Cats' est une bière trappiste ambrée brassée à l'abbaye de Scourmont." (The "Mont des cats" is an amber trappist beer brewed at the abbey of Scourmont). There is consequently no question as to know whether this is a trappist beer or not. It is a new brand of trappist beer which does not wear the ATP logo yet.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.161.170.13 (talk) 08:09, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The monks at the Spencer Trappist monastary started selling their own ale in January of 2014.  I'm not a home-brewer or an ale expert, but I do have a camera and can take pictures, so I've left a photo of my nifty new bottle of Spencer Trappist Ale here:

If any more clever people want to use it in the article.

message: I cannot code so I cant improve the sorting algorithm but as it stands the sorting by "Annual production" (least first) sorts by the characters in the string (120,000 hl appears higher up than 145,000 etc.) This should be changed. So that the sorting is correct.
On a related note the volumes are old (from 2004) and could be updated.
