I am Chimay Red, also known as Chimay Premiere, and am a Belgian Dubbel that has been blessed by the hands of Trappist monks to bring you a taste of their legacy with every sip.
As the oldest member of the Chimay Trappist Ales family, I have been brewed at the Scourmont Abbey since 1862, making me a true classic in the world of Belgian beers and one that has earned a place in the hearts of many beer drinkers across the globe.
My deep copper color and creamy beige head are just the beginning of what I have to offer. My aroma is full of dark fruit and caramel, with notes of bread dough and a hint of spice. When you take a sip, you'll taste my complex blend of malts and hops, with flavors of raisins, plums, and a subtle sweetness from the caramel and brown sugar.
At 7% ABV, I'm not the strongest beer in the Chimay lineup, but I'm still quite potent, so take your time and savor each sip. Don't settle for just any Belgian beer, choose the one with character and history - choose me.

When a Prince gifts an entire abbey to 17 Cistercian monks, they take the opportunity to transform it into fertile farmland. After years of hard work, the monks completed the brewery (and cheese-making plant) in 1862. Chimay Brewery is inspiringly resilient; it not only managed to survive the destruction wrought by the Second World War, but it also managed to isolate a unique yeast strain while recovering from the devastations of the war! Today, Chimay Brewery is the biggest and one of the most well-known among the 11 Trappist breweries in the world. Chimay is not only known for its uniquely flavoured beers, thanks to the special yeast, but it is also known for producing world-class cheese that pair perfectly with its world-class beers!
