... You need to become a monk.
From the Telegraph: "Belgian beers are under threat from a crippling shortage of new monks to replace its ageing brewing brothers.
The recruitment crisis has already led to one brewery, Achel, losing its Authentic Trappist Product label after the last two monks at the St Benedict's Abbey in the province of Limburg, close to the Dutch border, retired.
There are about 100 Cistercian monks brewing in Belgium, which is the spiritual home of the Trappist beers and, until recently, boasted almost half of the world’s 14 Trappist breweries.
The vast majority have already reached retirement age but fewer and fewer Belgians are replacing them, leading to fears the monastic order could die out."
Anyone interested?
