Trappist is not a style but a designation or appellation of origin, indicating that the beer in question was brewed at one of the seven recognized beer-producing Cistercian ("Trappist") monasteries in Belgium or the Netherlands. In every case, the beer is actually brewed on the monastery premises and under the supervision of the monks.
