Producer Background
Founded in 1862 by the monks of Scourmont Abbey in Chimay, Belgium, Bières de Chimay has become one of the most respected Trappist breweries in the world. Brewed within the abbey’s walls under monastic supervision, Chimay’s beers are known for their depth, complexity, and time-honoured traditions. All profits are used to support the monastic community and local charities, further enhancing the authenticity and purpose behind every brew.
The brewery’s flagship beers — Chimay Red, Blue, and Triple — each reflect a distinct flavour profile shaped by natural ingredients, house yeast strains, and bottle conditioning. The result is a lineup of beers with exceptional structure, balance, and ageability. While Chimay is not part of the Irish Craft Beer scene, it’s deeply admired by Irish drinkers who appreciate true Belgian Beer artistry. These beers also serve as a counterpoint to styles like IPA, offering a malt-forward alternative steeped in history. Curious about alternative serving options?
