About This Beer
La Trappe Nillis Non Alcoholic is a revolutionary Trappist craft beer brewed with a mission: to create a dark, full-bodied ale without a drop of alcohol. As the second alcohol-free offering from the renowned Koningshoeven Brewery, Nillis follows in the footsteps of La Trappe’s brewing excellence with a focus on depth, richness, and flavour integrity.
Brewed using a traditional mash and fermentation process, then carefully de-alcoholised, Nillis maintains the texture and complexity of a Belgian dark ale. Expect layers of roasted malt, cocoa, gentle caramel sweetness, and earthy spice — all hallmarks of classic Trappist styles, reimagined for today’s mindful drinker.
This 33cl bottle delivers more than just a non-alcoholic experience — it’s a genuinely satisfying alternative that respects the heritage of Trappist brewing. Whether you’re cutting back or skipping the ABV entirely, Nillis proves that craft beer Ireland has room for rich and flavourful alcohol-free options.

About the Brewery
Koningshoeven Brewery, home of La Trappe, is one of only a handful of Trappist breweries in the world — and the only one based in the Netherlands. With more than 130 years of brewing tradition, the monks at Koningshoeven produce beers with devotion, sustainability, and community at their core.
La Trappe is world-famous for its dubbel, tripel, and quadrupel ales — and now for innovative non-alcoholic offerings like Nillis. Brewed under the same strict monastic standards, Nillis is a proud part of our Belgian Beer selection and a benchmark in alcohol-free brewing.
Food Pairings
Serve Nillis alongside rich mushroom dishes, grilled vegetables, dark chocolate desserts, or aged cheese. Its malt-forward profile also makes it a perfect match for roasted nuts or hearty vegetarian mains.
