These unique abbey-made alesare known for their uncompromisingquality and compelling flavor. SierraNevada and the Abbey of NewClairvaux are working to bring thisabbey brewing tradition to Americain 2011.Proceeds from this project will go tobenefit the monks of the Abbey ofNew Clairvaux in their attempts torebuild the 12th century Spanishmedieval Santa Maria de Óvilachapter house on the grounds oftheir monastery. This ancientchapter house has a storied past—Cistercian monks first broke ground on this monastery in1190 in a village near Trillo, Spain. Here, they lived,prayed and worked for nearly 800 years. By the early20th century, the ancient abbey began to fall intodisarray.In 1931, wealthy California newspaper magnate,William Randolph Hearst discovered the abbey andenvisioned the medieval church as a grand castle for hisfamily in Northern California that could eclipse his ownSan Simeon. Hearst dismantled the ancient abbey,stone-by-stone and shipped the pieces out of Spainon a cargo ship destined for San Francisco. Overthe following years, Hearst was forced to sell theabbey stones. The wooden crates that held themwere stored in Golden Gate Park, where overthe decades that followed, were treated to theft,vandalism and fire.In 1994, the monks of the Abbey of NewClairvaux in Vina gained possession of the ruinsand began the painstaking stone-by-stonereconstruction of the historic building.Although Hearst’s plans crumbled, these historic stoneswill rise again in a California Cistercian abbey. The firstbeer in the series: Ovila Abbey Dubbel will be availablein very limited quantities in mid-March.www.origlio.com HeadyTimes v.63 13
