Chimay Beer, crafted in a historic Belgian monastery, reflects the deep of Trappist brewing. This copper-hued ale features unique flavors of apricot, brown sugar, and nutmeg, enhanced the experience of a draft pour. It is made from entirely natural materials, with water sourced 100% from the wells of the abbey.

With a commitment to traditional methods and top ingredients, the monks have been brewing Chimay Première September 19, 1862. Chim Trappist beers are brewed within the abbey and produced under the supervision of the monks.
