Beers made by monks fall into which of the following categories?

  1. farmhouse

  2. lambic

  3. specialty

  4. trappist

The correct answer is: trappist

Beers made by monks fall into the category of trappist beers. These are brewed by Trappist monks within the walls of a monastery, and the profits from the sale of these beers are used to support the monastery and its community. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not specifically refer to beers made by monks. Farmhouse beers are usually produced by individual farmers, lambic beers are typically made in Belgium, and specialty beers can be made by any brewery and do not necessarily have a monastic connection.
