About the Brewery
Rochefort’s brewing tradition dates back centuries, with the abbey’s current brewing activity beginning in 1595. Today, the monks of Abbaye de Notre-Dame de Saint-Remy still oversee production, brewing small volumes of beer that sustain their monastic community and charitable work. Rochefort 10 is their strongest and most celebrated ale, crafted with spring water from the monastery’s grounds, high-quality malts, hops, and a distinctive Belgian yeast strain.
This Quadrupel has earned legendary status among beer enthusiasts worldwide, regularly ranked among the top beers globally. Despite its strength, it remains remarkably balanced, with complex layers that evolve as it warms in the glass.
Food Pairings
Rochefort 10 is ideal for pairing with rich and robust foods. Try it alongside venison, lamb stew, or roasted game for a hearty match. It also pairs beautifully with strong cheeses like stilton or aged gouda, and for dessert, enjoy it with chocolate cake, fruit compote, or sticky toffee pudding.
