Chimay is a small village in the Belgian Ardennes whose rich soils and rainy skies have supported agriculture for more than 1,000 years. It is home to a community of Trappist monks who have brewed the same ales, in the same monastery, since 1862.

The Trappists were the pioneers of Belgian brewing and the beer you are holding is invested with this expertise.
