Wandering of some drunken monks
Today on our emerging church abbaye tour in Belgium we sampled what many believe to be the best beer in the world - Westvleteren, made by the St Sixtus monastery. They make three beers (which we naturally sampled). The number 12, which is 11%, tasted amazing - very earthy, quite sweet, dark and complex. We also all loved the habits the Trappist monks wear, and I am going to try and track one down as they look fab.Have also been having some really good conversations with Ian, Karen and Mark about monastacism and rhythm of life stuff - all very positive.
