A Rare Look Inside Chimay⛪Brewery

I am honored that I was invited to tell the story of Chimay Trappist brewery especially since that seclusion is paramount for the monks of Chimay.

So, the abbey, the ...brewery and the dairy are unfortunately all closed to visitors. However, you will receive a warm welcome and able to taste all of Their products in the adjacent Espace Chimay complex which is down the road from the Abbey.

➡️ The distinctive Chimay brewing process starts with their own well mineral water that is used for brewing and its own home-grown yeast strain. Ever since the brewery was relaunched in 1948, this strain has been used for all its beers.

It is used for both the main fermentation, as well as to start up the re-fermentation, just before bottling. All the Chimay beers spend three weeks re-fermenting in the brewery's warm room.

This yeast is pretty special, becoming active at a high temperature, and it gives the beer its characteristically herbal and peppery touch. All this yeast-questing took roughly two years of research.

➡️ Chimay is an authentic Trappist ale.
That means that it is brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery under the supervision and responsibility of the monastic community, which is involved in the entire process of making and selling the ale.
The bulk of the revenue that this activity generates is used to finance social services and cover the community’s needs.

Hi, I’m Jeff Bradford. My passion for beer, wine, and spirits ignited an urge to investigate the stories behind the labels.

🌏 So, in 2018, I sold everything I owned to travel the world.

My objective: to learn the secrets of brewers, winemakers, and distillers.

From Switzerland to Jalisco, I set out to determine why their process yields extraordinary results.

With each stop on the map, I reveal time-honored traditions, cultural influences, and industry practices that help you discover the soul of these incredible products.

As a former member of the US military, I learn by doing.

You will see me harvesting grapes in South Africa, pouring beer at Oktoberfest, and chopping agave in Tequila.

Some information about the Trappist Breweries:

Our Trappist journey begins in Vleteren, Belgium at the St. Sixtus Abbey where we taste the Blond, 8, and the 12 beers of Westvleteren.

Chimay. The brewery produces three ales as well as a patersbier for the monks themselves which is occasionally sold as Chimay Gold; they are known as Trappist beers because they are made in a Trappist monastery. It was the first brewery to use the Trappist Ale designation on its labels.

Orval is the main brand. It is a 6.2% abv beer. It was first made in 1931, and has a complex and unusual flavor and aroma produced by a unique strain of yeast: Brettanomyces lambicus. The beer is light in color, slightly cloudy, and has a large, foamy head. There is a complex aroma of leather, spice, and many other earthy components.

Rochefort: Around fifteen monks live at Rochefort Abbey, where the first brewery was founded in 1595. The water for the beer is drawn from a well inside the monastery walls.Rochefort uses Pilsener and Munich-type malts, and Hallertau and Golding hops

Achel Brewery or Brouwerij der Sint-Benedictusabdij de Achelse Kluis is a Belgian Trappist brewery, and the smallest of the Belgian Trappist breweries. It is located in the Abbey of Saint Benedict in the Belgian municipality of Hamont-Achel. It brews six Trappist beers.

Westmalle Brewery (Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle) is a Trappist brewery in the Westmalle Abbey, Belgium. It produces three beers, designated as Trappist beer by the International Trappist Association.
