Tynt Meadow, our English Trappist Ale, is borne of reflection and made with joy.
It comes from Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, a community where work is a form of prayer and peace is at the heart of everything we do.
Tynt Meadow
Trappist Ale, English story
Rich, velvety pools of darkness are layered with time to create this unique ale. Made with water drawn from our well and sustainably sourced local ingredients, Tynt Meadow is a modern revival of the ales once made at Mount Saint Bernard Abbey long ago.
In the convergence of the old and the new, we combine complexity and simplicity.
Trappist beers usually get their names from the monastery’s location. We named ours ‘Tynt Meadow’ to honour the land where monastic life began in the Midlands nearly two centuries ago. As part of the great Trappist tradition, we produce a strong dark ale with a distinct English character.
At the heart of our process, the monks at Mount St Bernard Abbey Brewery oversee the bottle fermentation of Tynt Meadow. This ensures that this dark ale is rich in history and simplicity, yet complexly rewarding. Whether you’re savoring it alone or with company, enjoy it in quiet contemplation.
Mount St Bernard Abbey. Our Home in the Heart of England
We welcome visitors to Mount St Bernard, our Abbey, and Brewery. Although we are a functioning monastery and brewery, we warmly invite those interested to explore our home and learn about our work.
Parking is available on-site with donations accepted. Our car park is a fantastic spot from which to explore the natural beauty of Charnwood Forest.
“By mingling their properties and so revealing fresh potential; by being carefully stored and matured, the humble malt, hops, yeast, and water are spirit-filled and bring forth something new, something nurturing and good, that brings joy to those who share it.”

Hello Leo!
Cats have always played a vital role in both daily life and brewery operations. Wherever fresh supplies are involved in ale-making, a Chief Mouser often handles pest control.
In 2020, Leo joined the Mount Saint Bernard team as a kitten. This British Shorthair, who takes both work and sleep seriously, quickly won the hearts of the monks and staff. His charming personality made up for his questionable talents in vermin control.
Brother Leo spends his days exploring the Abbey with free reign. He often visits the monks at work and roams the grounds. During summer, he enjoys the cool marble floors, while in cooler months, he retreats indoors, seeking warm spots to curl up and cat.
