“We brew to live. We don’t live to brew.” This was once again emphasized by the monks of the world-famous Westvleteren Trappist brewery earlier this week when they introduced the new – external – CEO of their brewery. With the Hail Mary “above all, don’t make too much profit”. But actually, even that is no longer necessary. Behind the thick abbey walls – according to the annual accounts – a fortune awaits that makes each of the remaining nineteen brothers almost a millionaire on paper. If it weren’t for the fact that they renounce any form of material wealth.
