Apparently a lot of the trappist breweries blend a few different base malts to build complexity.

You have a reference?

Yup that's where I read it.

FWIW, both of those are in fact pale malt.  Depending on the maltster of the MO, it might be closer to a pale ale malt.  In general, pale malt and what's referred to as "2 row" are the same thing.  And almost every barley malt out there will be 2 row.

Good point.  I fall into this same trap.  It's carryover from when we started brewing way back in the 1990s, when 6-row was very common.  Remember those days, man? 

I don't remember anything before last Saturday!

EDIT: After reviewing I wasn't able to find a reference to any of the Trappists. What I remembered was the section on Duvel.

But I haven't reviewed it thoroughly yet. I know it's in there somewhere.

Ah, that's possible. But we all know there's a good reason why the beer is called Duvel.
