How to Pour an Authentic “PATER LINUS Abtei Königsmünster Bière d’Abbaye Blonde”
To ensure an authentic Pater Linus Abbey beer experience by allowing its satisfying, complex taste nuances and fine-pored head to fully develop, follow these steps:
- Take a clean, cold, wet Pater Linus chalice glass.
- Place the glass straight under the tap and open the tap at once, be careful not to immerse the spout in the foam.
- When the glass is filled 50/50 with beer and foam, close the tab and allow the beer to settle for 15 seconds. Be patient, this pause allows the foam to become denser.
- Fully open the tap again and fill the rest of the glass, allowing the foam to come up to the top edge of the logo on the chalice and rise above the rim like a crown. No need to skim off the foam.
- Close the tab and you are ready to serve a perfectly poured Pater Linus Belgian Style abbey beer to your guests.

Abtei Königsmünster
The Abtei of Königsmünster, a Benedict order located in the town of Meschede, Germany, is a relatively young monastery. Founded in 1928, Königsmünster is today a place for cultural, educational and religious contemplation – a peaceful center where the moment is lived intensely and mindfulness not just a catch phrase. Recognized for a modern, contemporary understanding which is evident in the purist style of the unique abbey building itself, the monks of Königsmünster maintain thriving workshops for a variety of goods and produce from pottery, carpentry and weaving to cheese, bread and apple ciders which they serve in the abbey’s gastronomy or sell in the abbey store and via the internet.
To address the demand for a genuine abbey beer that would carry the Königsmünster legacy into the world, the monks of the Abtei Königsmünster carefully developed a recipe for an authentic abbey beer specialty that reflects the tradition and values of their monastery.
In the well-respected Belgian brewery van Steenberge, located in the Belgium town of Ghent, the monks found an ideal partner.
