Monastery of Christ in the Desert (Abbey Beverage) planning to expand ops
The Washington Post’s Greg Kitsock has an interesting write-up on Monastic beers in this morning touching on both the Abbey of New Clairvaux and Monastery of Christ in the Desert. The latter’s brewing operation (going by the name of Abbey Beverage) is mostly outsourced at the moment but they’re planning to install a five or seven barrel brewhouse soon.
Output is minuscule, about 1,000 barrels this year, but Abbey Beverage has a toehold in eastern Pennsylvania, and talks are underway with distributors in Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Abbey Beverage is eyeing other territories as well, says Merchant.
