about the white. Another beer -- which I don't think I've got it up here, but I do actually pour myself a glass luckily -- is the double. The Trappist monks traditionally brew a single and double and triple. And we've got the double and triple here today. These are the first two beers that we did in the big cork finish bottle. The Trappist monks traditionally brew the
for planets. So let's imagine for a moment we could transport ourselves to one of these, not the TRAPPIST ones, but some planets orbiting a slightly bigger star. Like these TRAPPIST planets have a period on the order of one day to like 10 days.

They should be monks first and brewers second.
So, it's a true story. We had a -- as I mention, these bottles come from Europe. It's a very traditional bottle in Belgium for the Trappist breweries and a lot of the other beers in Belgium. It's a heavy glass bottle which can withstand high carbonation levels which these beers have. And we need to get these bottles from Europe,
And this is Jupiter. And this is the star TRAPPIST -1. It's so small, almost the size of Jupiter.
But instead of telling you that, let me take you on a virtual trip to one of these planets. And it's not just the TRAPPIST -1 star, but there are lots of small stars out there, and way more astronomers just observing small stars for planets. So let's imagine for a moment we could transport ourselves to one of these, not the TRAPPIST ones, but some planets orbiting a slightly bigger star.
I've only been -- I've been to Belgium a number of times. I actually only visited a Trappist brewery on my last trip. I went to see Orval -- which I love Orval. It's a great beer, and the monastery is like, unbelievably cool. It's really cool.
I mentioned traditional Belgian style wheat beer -- five percent unfiltered and spiced. The double and triple are the Trappist style beers we brew, which I described those. The next would be the Curieux, which is our triple age in the Jim Beam bourbon barrels.
for planets. So let's imagine for a moment we could transport ourselves to one of these, not the TRAPPIST ones, but some planets orbiting a slightly bigger star. And people are busy trying to find planets like the TRAPPIST planets and other planets to follow up.

It's showing you days, just normalized, I guess, at one day, one to 23. And this is looking at the star, TRAPPIST -1, as a function of time. And this was taken by not Kepler, but the Spitzer Space Telescope, an infrared telescope that's about 80 centimeters in diameter.
The Odyssey is an interesting one. We brewed that. There was sour beers and fruit beers and these brett beers and the Trappist beers, Cezannes, wheat beers -- it was just all over the map. And I was just intrigued by -- it's almost
like me get emails and phone calls. I actually got this, the most recent one-- have any of you heard of the TRAPPIST planets? About a month ago, there were these seven planets, all orbiting a very cold star.
Well, I'm going to show you what's behind those now. So instead of like the newspaper article just hyping it all, this is actually the TRAPPIST planet discovery. And maybe now you have a bit more tools to understand what it is.

But there are also traps breweries and there are only seven Trappist breweries in the world and Chimay happens to be one of them. And Trappist breweries are ones that are still
Which is -- if any of you are ever up in Boston, it's a great spot to drink beer -- great food. But we're going to try to go back now every year to go see another one of the Trappist breweries. We're going to see Chimay in about a month, which I'm really looking forward to. So, yeah, I've been to a lot of breweries in Belgium, but, you know, only been to one of the Trappist breweries.
But the investments and the encouragements and the activities that we've done to those companies-- for instance, like SpaceX, Blue Origin-- that now have rockets that can get up Now, what's really great about that is a discovery that was made just a couple years ago of TRAPPIST -1.
Not too hot, not too cold, but just right for life. So I think some of you said, when I said, have you heard of the TRAPPIST planets, and some of you said, yes, you have. Well, I'm going to show you what's behind those now.
And it's not just the TRAPPIST -1 star, but there are lots of small stars out there, and way more astronomers just observing small stars for planets. So let's imagine for a moment we could transport ourselves to one of these, not the TRAPPIST ones, but some planets orbiting a slightly bigger star. And the first thing you notice is a possibility that that star would be very big on the sky.

The Trappist monks traditionally brew a single and double and triple. And we've got the double and triple here today. These are the first two beers that we did in the big cork finish bottle. The Trappist monks traditionally brew the single for their own consumption. It's usually low alcohol beer, maybe brown, light brown, or blond in color. And that's what they brew for their own consumption.
everywhere and it's this beautiful, old, stone building. It's really impressive. But we actually did get a tour of the brewery there. Some of the Trappist breweries are very protective, and they really don't want a lot of people coming through the monastery or the brewery.

I know that sounds gross; but if someone says I have a beer and it tastes like dirty socks, I will order that beer. So, one of my favorites is Orval, which is a Trappist beer so it is
But we're going to try to go back now every year to go see another one of the Trappist breweries. We're going to see Chimay in about a month, which I'm really looking forward to. So, yeah, I've been to a lot of breweries in Belgium, but, you know, only been to one of the Trappist breweries. And Orval's an interesting one too, because it's -- their beer doesn't really fall into one of the traditional singles, doubles, and triples.
