## About

The 12th Century was the golden age of monasticism in Ireland. The monks of the dominant 
Cistercian Order were known in Ireland for their impressive, picturesque abbeys as well as their 
orderly approach to balancing their religious obligations with their domestic responsibilities as 
farmers and brewers. Cistercian monastic life was characterized by a devotion to hard manual 
labor and self sufficiency, pioneering many of the ecological farming ideals which are still in 
practice today.
 
During this period, the 12th Century Bective Abbey was founded as Beatitude Dei , which in Latin 
translates as the "Blessedness of God". This Cistercian abbey is situated on the banks of the 
spectacular Boyne River in County Meath, where the white-robed founding monks sustainably 
farmed over 4000 acres of land and certainly brewed their own beer.
 
At 12th Abbey Brewing we are proud to continue the tradition of brewing quality beer on these 
very same banks of the Boyne. Our handcrafted beers are based on hard work using the finest 
natural ingredients. In other words, like our Cistercian predecessors, nothing but the best will do: 
naturally filtered spring water, the highest quality hops and only locally sourced Irish base malts. 
And so the tradition continues……
