I can be found in the finest bars & beer gardens all over the world.
Don't try to drink me in a pint glass. A chalice is the only vessel that should be used for my greatness.
Chimay is an authentic Trappist beer that is it is brewed within a Trappist monastery, under the control and responsibility of the monastic community.
We are the monks of the Abbey of Scourmont at Chimay and belong to the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, known generally as Trappists.
Trappists, who follow the Rule of Saint Benoit (going back to the 6th century) take the name of "Cistercians" from the monastery of Citeaux, founded in Burgundy in the 12th century.
The Cistercian monasteries are divided into two great Orders, of which one is historically attached to the Abbey of La Grande Trappe, in Normandy. From here originates the popular name of "Trappists".
You are not drinking an ordinary beer, this is a Trappist beer, a beer of tradition that you are tasting that's made especially for a worthy drinker! We take pride in our quality products and we don't pee in it like those mexican breweries.
Remember, LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO DRINK CHEAP BEER!!!
