For centuries monks have been brewing ales to quench the thirst of wandering pilgrims, but the Trappist monks of Belgium have taken this art to heavenly heights. St Augustine's Cross - named after the landing site of St Augustine in Thanet in 597AD - is our homage to the famed "Abbaye" style beers brewed by the Trappists. Rich and flavoursome, with a perfectly balanced hop profile and a delightfully refreshing finish, this truly is a divine ale.
