The monastery at Sobrado dos Monxes was already one of my favorite places on the Norte, but now there seems a good enough reason to visit again, as they have just launched their own beer. (Abadía de Estrella Galicia)
It is a cooperation with Estrella. I don't think the beer was actually brewed at the monastery, but it made with yeast samples that were collected from the monastery grounds. The beer reportedly has a similar taste as Belgian Abbey beer. But personally this sounds a bit too ambitious to be credible. Anyway, I hope to find out for myself some day.
For those interested. This video was made to promote the launch (with the monks singing in Latin about the background of the beer) and El Espanol wrote an article about it.
El prior asegura que les encantaría que esta cerveza se convirtiese "en algo permanente" y agradece que la empresa gallega los tuviese en cuenta para este proyecto que da visibilidad al monasterio y a su estilo de vida
