Belgian Tradition

Monasteries have been brewing as far back as the sixth century to provide sustenance and benevolence to the communities they served. Water-borne epidemics during this period were commonplace, and the boiling of beer during the brewing process, made it a far healthier option than the town’s water supply.

SO MONKS BREWED.

What made monastic breweries different was that the monks brought patience, process and dedication to the practice of brewing. At Monkless, there are no monks, but this is our devotion. We practice patience to perfection in our brewing process, and focus exclusively on Belgian-style ales.

Our Biers

Our classic Belgian-style ales are crafted to be accessible, refined & smooth. Consistency is critical and we never rush the process. We patiently enable the distinctive Belgian-style yeast to work their magic and don’t obscure their efforts with bold hop bitterness, or excessive adjunct spices, which detract from the old world character of the beer. We strive to be authentic to style, and focus on innovation in our interpretation and approach.

Like a monk’s ascetic practice, our palates tend to evolve through experience, and with beer it’s no different. Belgian-style beers are meant to be experienced, enjoyed, and appreciated.
