    "intro": "<p>The monks of the Saint-Sixtus only use natural ingredients to brew three Trappist beers: Blond, 8 and 12. These beers each have their own colour, taste and aroma. All beers are unfiltered and not pasteurised, with secondary fermentation in the bottle. All this contributes&nbsp;to the taste and aroma.</p>\n<p>Trappist Westvleteren exists in three different types:</p>\n<ul>\t<li>Trappist Westvleteren Blond &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;5.8 vol.% alc.</li>\t<li>Trappist Westvleteren 8 (dark) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;8.0 vol.% alc.</li>\t<li>Trappist Westvleteren 12 (dark) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10.2 vol.% alc.</li></ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Deposit of the empty goods\u200b</strong></p>\n<p>Wooden crate + 24 bottles =&nbsp; &euro; 15 (&euro; 12.60 for the crate and &euro; 0.10 per bottle).</p>\n<p>Only authentic bottles with a ring with the word &ldquo;Trappistenbier&rdquo; embossed can be refunded. Moreover, the deposit can only be refunded if the empty goods are not damaged. The wooden crates retain their value when stored in a dry place.</p>\n<p>Empty goods can also be returned to the sales centre at the Abbey at any time during the collection times indicated on the calendar of the website <a href=\"http://www.trappistwestvleteren.be\">www.trappistwestvleteren.be</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>",
    "body": "<h1>What is a Trappist Beer ?</h1>\n<p>The &quot;<strong>Trappist beer</strong>&quot; trademark is legally protected and may only be used if the production of the beer takes place within the monastery walls under the supervision of the monks.</p>\n<p>The International Trappist Association (ITA) takes care that member communities develop a good balance between their commercial goals and their spiritual heritage. It helps and supports them in this endeavour. It does this in the following ways:</p>\n<ul>\t<li>by protecting the brand name Trappist&reg; and the common economic interests of Trappist communities;</li>\t<li>by providing reliable information about the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance;</li>\t<li>by fostering cooperation between the abbeys;</li>\t<li>by developing a network of solidarity and cooperation with other Trappist abbeys.</li></ul>\n<p><br />Only trappist abbeys can use the &#39;Trappist<sup>&reg;</sup>&#39; mark and the &#39;Authentic Trappist Product&#39;-logo. The Trappist appellation is first and foremost a certification of origin. It can never be used by another brewer.</p>\n<p>In addition, each Trappist beer produced by Trappist abbeys has a unique recipe and a unique yeast. There is therefore no brewing style that could justify making a comparable product.</p>\n<p>Only five Belgian beers can use the name Trappist: Chimay, Orval, Rochefort, Westmalle and Westvleteren.</p>\n<p><strong>For more information regarding the International Trappist Association and the</strong> <strong>ATP logo:</strong> <strong>www.trappist.be</strong>.</p>",
