The story behind it
The Spencer Brewery was founded by the Trappist monks of St. Joseph's Abbey in 2013, seeking to sustain their monastic life and charitable works through artisanal brewing. Though the brewery ultimately closed its commercial operations in 2022, it remains a historic pioneer as the first and only certified Trappist brewery in America.
Spencer Trappist IPA was brewed by the monks of Saint Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, which stood as the first certified Trappist brewery in the United States. This ale combined traditional European monastic brewing standards with the vibrant, hop-forward profile of the American craft beer movement.
