If you listen to the Rosary Army Catholic Show, you may remember Greg Willits’ recent decision to no longer drink his favorite brand of beer, Sierra Nevada, because he learned that the company provided some funding to an abortion clinic.

A listener named Chia (sorry if I misspelled the name) from California left some audio feedback on Rosary Army Episode 235. She recommended that rather than boycotting Sierra Nevada, we instead actively support beers made by Trappist monks. She explained that several monasteries make their own beer and sell it as an important source of income.

The listener did not specify a particular brand, so I did an Internet search to find out a few labels. Wikipedia has an article on Trappist beer stating that only seven of the world’s 171 Trappist monasteries produce beer: six in Belgium and one in The Netherlands. I’ll have to check out a local package store to see if they carry these import labels.
