Originally founded in 1132, Quarr Abbey is home to a community of Benedictine monks. The Benedictine way of life is one of devotion to prayer, work and hospitality. The Abbey grounds are cultivated by the monks to grow a bountiful supply of fresh food for their own sustenance and to share with the local community. Abbey beers have been brewed by monks for centuries utilising locally grown herbs, malt and barley. Quarr Abbey Ale is brewed to capture the essence of these traditional Abbey Beers and uses coriander and sweet gale grown in the abbey’s own gardens. Find out more here.

Bottle on a 76 year old train thanks to LKS, IOW Jolly Day, 24/08/14. Clear golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is bready, spice, dark fruit, light roastings, caramel, yeast esters. Taste comprises Belgian yeast esters, pears, light spice, fruit loaf, sweetish notes, dark fruits, dates. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, hint of booze in the close. Ok Belgo offering, not too sweet. SHV ?!? Nah - no need to tar this one with that crappy catch all ... Belgian Ale.
