🌍 United States · Belgian Tripel · One of 8 Belgian Tripels in hopIQ

Pennsylvania's most celebrated Belgian Tripel. World Beer Cup Bronze 2010, Best Belgian Beer at Philly Beer Scene Awards 2013. Fruity yeast esters of pear and banana, spicy phenols, golden colour and a deceptively dry finish. Weyerbacher's flagship and arguably the best American Tripel east of the Mississippi.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Weyerbacher Merry Monks

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.

Goblet
Recommended for this style

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.

Drink within 2 years. Some complexity develops with age but the yeast character is best relatively fresh.
