capProducer Details

In 1945, Trappist monastery St. Sixtus stopped selling its beer and an agreement was reached where the monks would brew beer for themselves and the beer could only be bought at the monastery and associated taverns. They gave a license to the local cheese factory, and Brewery St. Bernard was founded. The brew master from Westvleteren, Mathieu Szafranski (of Polish origin) became a partner in the brewery and brought along the recipes, the know-how and the St. Sixtus yeast strain. Since 1992 the beers brewed in Watou have been sold under the brand name St. Bernardus. The St. Bernardus range is considered a close match in recipe and style to the St. Sixtus beers, which can be hard to obtain outside the area. Ver menos
