In the heart of the Belgian region of Chimay, the Abbey of Scourmont has been brewing trapense beer since 1862. Founded by Cistercian monks arrived in 1850, this community transformed a wasteland into a centre of production with soul, where tradition, work and spirituality have given rise to one of the most recognized beers in the world.
True to the strict principles of the Authentic Trappist Product label, Chimay beers are produced within the abbey environment, under the direct supervision of monks, and their benefits are intended for social works, Trappist communities and development projects. This philosophy not only guarantees authenticity, but also a deep respect for the environment and for those who enjoy its products.
Over the years, Chimay has managed to balance its centuries-old roots with a clear commitment to sustainability and innovation: renewable energies, efficient production, natural ingredients and a special connection with local producers. Water from its own wells and milk from ranchers in the area give life to its beers and cheeses, symbols of the commitment to the land that saw them born.
To talk about Chimay is to talk about something more than beer. It is to tell the story of a community that, since the serenity of its monastery, has managed to cross borders without giving up its values. A legacy of taste, authenticity and humanity, which continues to be written bottle by bottle.
