About the beer

The history of Chimay began in 1850 when the priest of Virelles, Father Jean-Baptiste Jourdain, and the Prince of Chimay, Joseph de Riquet de Caraman, entrusted a mission to a small group of monks from Westvleteren: to take up residence on the Scourmont plateau with the aim, then as now, of “supporting the Chimay region”. To this end, they decided to brew beer using the abundant water available on the marshy plateau, and the first batch was produced in 1862. Subsequently, they also began producing cheese, which is, incidentally, the perfect match for Chimay. The brewing knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation to ensure that the principles of Chimay are always respected. Today, it is one of only 5 Belgian breweries that can display the “Authentic Trappist Product” label. We highly recommend a visit to the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Scourmont.
