The story behind Cardeña
With the introduction of the Cardeña Tripel on March 16, 2016, a new chapter in the Spanish Trappist beer tradition began. The recipe was developed in collaboration with Scottish master brewer Bob Maltman. The monastery describes its beers as handcrafted from barley malt, hops, yeast, and water, with a secondary fermentation in the bottle.
Today, the range includes not only the Tripel with 7% ABV, but also Cardeña Doble with 6% ABV and Quadrupel with 10% ABV. The International Trappist Association recognizes Cardeña as the first Spanish Trappist® beer.
Serving tip
Serve in a bulbous beer glass so that the fruity and herbal aromas can unfold. As a food pairing, we recommend aged cheese or roasted poultry.
