himay Grande Réserve stands as a testament to the rich brewing heritage of the Chimay monastery. Originally launched as a Christmas ale under the moniker “Blue Cap” in 1948, its overwhelming success and recognition as a top-tier strong ale led to its year-round production. Today, it proudly represents the Chimay range, renowned for its incredible ability to age gracefully. In fact, within the abbey's grounds lies a beer cellar housing a vast collection of Chimay Blue bottles, some of which have been ageing for decades.

The foundation of this ale is its six special malt varieties, which impart a unique and opulent aroma to the brew.

The result is a beer that is both complex and balanced, offering layers of flavours that evolve with every sip.
