Saturday, April 25: La Trappe Kings Day
Since 1890, the entirety of The Netherlands has celebrated Queen Beatrix every year on April 30. It is a day of celebration for the Queen, country and, most importantly, its beer! But, as of 2013, the Queen has abdicated to her son Prince (now King) Willem-Alexander, so now they celebrate Kings Day. 

We're celebrating Kings Day on April 25 by pouring La Trappe Tripel, Wit and Bock.  We'll also be packaging 
Isid'Or and Quad to go.
