Orval Brewery is one of the most distinctive Trappist breweries in the world, located within Orval Abbey in Belgium. Unlike most breweries, Orval is built around a single beer, produced to an exacting standard and shaped by a unique brewing process that has made it a reference point for both Trappist and Belgian beer.
What sets Orval apart is its use of Brettanomyces yeast during secondary fermentation, giving the beer its signature dry, complex character with notes of fruit, spice, and a subtle earthy bitterness. Unlike most beers, Orval continues to evolve in the bottle over time, developing deeper flavours and complexity as it ages, making it a favourite among those who appreciate beer as something to be explored as well as enjoyed.
Orval has earned a global reputation for its precision, consistency, and individuality, appealing to both experienced craft beer drinkers and those looking to buy craft beer online that offers something genuinely different. You can explore more classic Belgian styles within our Belgian & Trappist range, or discover a wider mix within our craft beer and craft cider range.
