AboutChimay
Chimay’s brewing story begins at Scourmont Abbey, where monks from Westvleteren settled in 1850 with a mission to support the surrounding region. They brewed their first beer in 1862, and in 1948 Father Théodore isolated the yeast strain that remains central to Chimay’s Trappist beers. Chimay’s beers carry the Authentic Trappist Product label and are brewed under the monks’ supervision.
Chimay Triple White Cap Trappist Ale
Belgian Beer
Golden and crowned with a generous white head, this Trappist tripel combines rich fruit with floral notes and elegant spice. Smoky nuance and vanilla sit against sweet malt, while a velvety texture is checked by measured hop bitterness. Orange peel and red apple shape the refined finish. Serve cool with grilled fish, roast poultry, washed-rind cheese or a lightly spiced curry.
Chimay Gold Trappist Ale
Belgian Beer
Golden with a tight, creamy head, this blond Trappist ale brings fresh floral spice, citrus and clove over a rounded, gently sweet palate. Coriander and refined hop character add lift, while balanced bitterness carries into a light, dry finish. Serve cool with grilled fish, roast chicken, soft cheese or mussels; its poised flavour and easy structure make it particularly versatile at the table.
Chimay Grande Réserve Blue Trappist Ale 750 mL
Belgian Beer
Powerful yet polished, this dark Trappist ale opens with luscious fruit, chocolate and a soft floral lift. Creamy caramel moves into mocha and fine spice, followed by candied fruit and a persistent warming finish. The larger bottle is designed to mature gracefully. Serve cool in generous glassware with braised beef, aged blue cheese, fruitcake or dark chocolate, allowing time for the aromas to unfold.
Chimay Blue Trappist Ale
Belgian Beer
Dark brown with a compact tan head, this bottle-conditioned Trappist ale layers ripe fruit and chocolate over creamy caramel and soft mocha. Fine spice and candied fruit carry through a long, gently warming finish, while the palate remains composed rather than heavy. Serve cool with beef stew, roast game, blue cheese or dark chocolate; careful cellaring can bring further complexity.
