“Mount St Bernard Brewery, the producer of Tynt Meadow English Trappist Ale, operates from a small, purpose-built facility. Located within the Abbey, it occupies what used to be our kitchen and laundry. Currently, brewing is a key labour for us, helping sustain our community of monks and maintain our home.
Moreover, our brewery embraces sustainable practices, ingredients, and techniques. This approach allows us to produce a modern version of traditional Trappist ale in an environmentally friendly and community-focused way. Starting with a small home brewing kit, we now brew over 1,000 hectolitres of Tynt Meadow. Today, you can find our ale not only throughout the United Kingdom but also across Europe, North and South America, and Asia.”
