Carolus - монастырское пиво.
"Beguinages are small, independent economic entities where Beguine sisters baked bread, brewed beer, grew vegetables or nursed the ill. As in the beguinage of Mechelen. In 1471 Charles the Bold granted the beguine sisters of Mechelen the permission to brew beer for their private use, completely free of duties and excise taxes. Four years earlier, in 1467 no less than 900 Beguines welcomed Charles the Bold during his visit to Mechelen. For more than three centuries, until 1865, they brewed their beer traditionally." А то, что в конце XIX в. пивоварню выкупили у монастыря - это уже другая история. Рецептура все равно не менялась.
