Rome: Tre Fontane Abbey (the Abbey of Saints Vincent and Anastasius)

About Tre Fontane Abbey (the Abbey of Saints Vincent and Anastasius):

Tre Fontane Abbey, officially the Abbey of Saints Vincent and Anastasius, is an abbey of monks of the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance, better known as Trappists.

It is known for its beer, one of the main sources of income for the Trappists.  You cannot actually visit the brewery, but you can buy some of their beer in their gift shop.

Another one of its activities is that it raises the lambs whose wool is used to weave the Pallia of new metropolitan archbishops. The pope blesses the lambs on the feast of Saint Agnes on January 21. The wool is prepared, and he gives the Pallia to the new archbishops on the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul on June 29.

In addition to beer, the shop sells Cistercian produce from abbeys worldwide.
