Get meta-monk this afternoon when Father Isaac, Prior of Abbey De Koningshoeven in the Netherlands, visits Monk's Caf� on his first trip to the United States. Joining Father Isaac is Gisj Swinkels, the layman in charge of brewing operations at Koningshoeven.
As Prior, Father Isaac is second in command of the abbey and is director of the brewery.� Thank him kindly (with no expletives, please, the man is a priest) for his truly epic Quadrupel, a bomber of a beer that all other quads aspire to be like when they grow up.
Koningshoeven beers were once sold under the name La Trappe, and the specially-flown-in, super-limited Isidor bears the La Trappe label.� Isidor, which was brewed to commemorate the abbey's 125th anniversary, is a 7.5 percent ABV amber ale made with perle hops grown on the monastery grounds.�� Only a few bottles were overnighted, at great expense, to debut in the U.S. at this event.� Monk's owner Tom Peters suggests arriving early if you want a taste of Isidor.
After the jump, the full Koningshoeven lineup for tonight's event in the back bar.
U.S. Debut of La Trappe Isidor, Monk's Cafe, 5-7 p.m., 264 S. 16th St., 215-545-7005, monkscafe.com
