Mislim da sam probao nekih 200-tinjak vrsta (brendova) piva, te nekoliko tipova (lager, crni lager, pšenično, stout, ale, samostanska-opatijska).

Od domaćih su mi favoriti Velebitsko (posebno crno), Kasačko, Osječko, Vukovarsko i Staročeško.

Od ostatka EX-YU prostora Jelen, Kosača (hercegovačko crno) i Sarajevsko.

Od ostatka svijeta (Europe) najdraža su mi Pilsner Urquell, Budweiser, Ottakringer i Heineken od svijetlih lagera, Kozel i Krušovice od crnih lagera, Paulaner i Erdinger od pšeničnih, Leffe od samostanskih, Guinness od stouta i Smithwick's od aleova.

Ne smijem jer je prodavanje navedenog piva van samostana na granici legalnosti, da tako kažem.

Onda druže ne ovdje nego na drugom mjestu.

Products | Trappist beers

Trappist beers are one of the most well-known products which Trappist monasteries produce and sell commercially.

A Trappist beer is not the same as an Abbey beer

Of all the beers in the world, only nine may carry the name “Trappist”: the beers of Achel, Chimay, La Trappe, Orval, Mont des Cats, Rochefort, Westvleteren, Westmalle, Mont des Cats and Stift Engelszell.

The "Authentic Trappist Product" label

Eight trappist beers carry the ATP-label : the beers of Achel, Chimay, La Trappe, Orval, Rochefort, Westvleteren, Westmalle, and the beers of Stift Engelszell (Gregorius and Benno).

A “Trappist” has to satisfy a number of strict criteria proper to this logo before it may bear this name:

The beer must be brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery, either by the monks themselves or under their supervision.
The brewery must be of secondary importance within the monastery and it should witness to the business practices proper to a monastic way of life
The brewery is not intended to be a profit-making venture. The income covers the living expenses of the monks and the maintenance of the buildings and grounds. Whatever remains is donated to charity for social work and to help persons in need.
Trappist breweries strictly comply with all health and safety standards as well as consumer information standards. Their advertising and communication is marked by honesty, soberness and a modesty proper to the religious setting in which the beer is brewed.

The procedure to receive the ATP-label

Only members of the International Trappist Association are able to submit an application for the right to use the "AUTHENTIC TRAPPIST PRODUCT" logo for a product (for example, a liqueur) or for a category of products (the whole line of liqueurs) produced by the monastery in question.
After the application has been received, the chairman and the members of the Board of Directors of the International Trappist Association will begin an evaluation procedure.
This can take several months. The procedure includes assembling an extensive dossier, an on-site visit to check the production regulations and the quality demands as set by the ITA, and of course a tasting of the products concerned.

At the end of the procedure, the Board of Directors of the ITA will decide whether or not to grant the right to use the "AUTHENTIC TRAPPIST PRODUCT" logo for the products concerned.

This ATP license is valid for five years.

The monastery thus favored commits itself to compliance with all the conditions expressed in the Regulation of Internal Order of the ITA.

Jeli vam desilo ikad da probate neku drugu vrstu piva osim onog običnog sa 5 posto alkohola u sebi?

Ja sam jednom probao pivo sa limunom i 2 posto alkohola i rekao sebi nikad više limunsko, vraćam se ja na "peticu".

Probao sam jednom davno i bezalkoholno pivo i dok sam ga pio imao sam osjećaj da pijem sok od hmelja i ječma, a ne "pravo" pivo.

Koje ste vi sve vrste piva pili?

Gospodine Pessimuse, mislim da Vam treba još malo prakse glede samostanskih piva.

Ovo ostalo je odličan izbor, uz dodatak da mi s godinama lageri sve lošije sjedaju.

Pa istina, probao sam nekih 6-7 vrsta zasad...


Hvala, počašćen sam kritikom.

Preporučujem belgijska trapistička (ovo što sam stavio gore). Obećana zemlja za pivopije istančanijeg ukusa.

Od navedenih trapističkih probao sam Orval, La Trappe u dvije ili tri varijante, a mislim da sam kušao i Chimay jednom prilikom, ako se dobro sjećam.

Kad dođeš u Zg javi se pa da ti pokažem jedno mjesto sa Chimayom

Od trapističkih koja se mogu naći u Zegeju, najbolji je Rochefort 10. Ima ga na par mjesta, a može se i kupiti u Vrutku.
