Les brasseries Trappistes

There are 12 Trappist breweries carrying the “Authentic Trappist Product” label throughout the world with six of them in Belgium. The name “Trappist” comes from the popular name given to the monks of a French abbey “La Trappe” located in Normandy. During the French revolution, the monks of the abbey of La Trappe fled to what is today Belgium. This is how Westmalle came into being, and other Trappist breweries followed.

The Belgian production sites of authentic Trappist beers are:

• Westmalle : production at the Abbey of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Westmalle
• Chimay : production at the Scourmont Abbey in Chimay
• Rochefort : high fermentation beer brewed by the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Saint-Remy
• Orval : beers produced at the Orval Abbey in Villers-devant-Orval
• Westvleteren : produced by the Abbey of St Sixtus in Westvleteren
• Achel : beers brewed by the abbey Notre-Dame de Saint-Benoît d’Achel. In fact, it is the only abbey in Belgium that allows visitors to visit its production facilities.

There are other Trappist beers produced around the world:

In the Netherlands:

• La Trappe : at the Koningshoeven Abbey
• Zundert : at the Maria Toevlucht Abbey

In Italy:

• Tre Fontane : the Tre Fontane Abbey in Rome

In Austria:

• Gregorius, Benno et Nivard : The Engelszell Abbey

In the United States:

• Spencer : at the Saint Joseph’s Abbey in Massachusetts

In the United Kingdom:

• Tynt Meadow : Trappist beer, brewed by the community of Mount Saint Bernard Abbey in Coalville in Leicestershire in central England.

It was authorized to carry the “Authentic Trappist Product” logo on September 17, 2018.

The “almost authentic Trappist” beers:

In France:

• Mont des Cats : Trappist beer but brewed and bottled at the Abbey of Scourmont in Chimay on behalf of the Abbey of Mont des Cats. As it is not brewed within the precincts of the French abbey, it has not been granted the precious ATP certification.

In Spain:

• Cardeña : Monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña (near Burgos)
  The San Pedro de Cardeña monastery should soon be able to receive the official Trappist label. Only one element, crucial to obtain the ATP logo and join a very closed club, is missing: brewing the beer within the abbey.

Trappist beers are to this day produced in Trappist abbeys, hence the name “Trappist Beer”. They carry the “Authentic Trappist Product” label. To receive this label, they must meet various criteria with the first being brewing inside the walls or near a Cistercian-Trappist abbey. Profits from the sale of Trappist beers must have a charitable purpose or be used for the subsistence of the monastery.
