I may not be as well-known as my older brother, Chimay Blue, but I am just as special in my own way.
As the lightest and most refreshing of the Chimay Trappist Ales, I, the Chimay White, offer a unique and delicate taste that is not to be missed. With an amber gold color and a thick, creamy head, I invite you to savor my aromas of fresh bread, honey, and spices. My light body is deceiving, as I am surprisingly complex and full of character, thanks to the high-quality ingredients and traditional brewing methods used by the monks at Scourmont Abbey, where I was born.
As a Belgian Tripel, I am a true classic of the style, with a perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness, and acidity. My fruity and floral notes are complemented by a hint of spiciness, thanks to the special yeast used in my fermentation. At 8% ABV, I am not too strong, but still pack a punch. Whether you enjoy me with a meal or as a standalone treat, I promise to leave you feeling refreshed, satisfied, and perhaps even a little enlightened.

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!
