Known for: Notre-Dame de Scourmont Abbey, Hainaut. Trappist since 1862. Red (dubbel, 7%), White/Triple (8%), Blue (quadrupel, 9%), Gold (pale, 4.8%). Most widely distributed Trappist after Orval and the only one with a national supermarket presence. Plus Chimay cheese. The most accessible Trappist beer worldwide — Chimay's commercial reach is genuinely unusual for a Trappist house. Quality holds remarkably well at scale. The Blue is the desert-island Trappist pick.
