Rochefort, Belgium



Amongst the universally celebrated field of Trappist brewing, Brasserie de Rochefort hold their own. Just 15 monks producing beers held up as world greats by beer experts and everyday drinkers alike. Like fellow monastic brewers Chimay, Orval or Tynt meadow, the brothers of the Abbey of Our Lady of Saint-Remy in Rochefort, Belgium, live a simple and serene life of work and prayer.
Records indicate that beer has been brewed on the site since 1595, and like the monastery itself, the beers age impeccably. Modern recipes were set down in the 1960s, with the help of brothers and neighbours Chimay.
Three beers brewed with essentially unchanged ingredients and a ‘secret herb’ thrown in for good measure. All brewed in handsome copper kettles.
The results speak for themselves. Three varieties, 6, 8 and 10. Three beers to take on the world.
