Chimay
In 1850 the Prince of Chimay, Joseph de Riquet de Caraman entrusted a mission to small group of monks from Westvleteren & Father Jean-Baptiste Jourdain to take up residence on the high plateau of Scoutmont with the aim, then as now, of “supporting the Chimay region”.
And thus Chimay beer was born. One of the easiest beers to order and find!

Westmalle
Founded in 1794 by Trappists fleeing the French Revolution they were persuaded to stay by the local Bishop and found their home in a small farm aptly named Nooit Rust (Never Rest).
The strong golden ale brewed here was the first to use the term Tripel, which is easily found at most specialty beer stores.

Last but not least Westvleteren Trappist Beer
Certainly the hardest to obtain this beer is brewed by the monks of Sint-Sixtus abbey starting in 1839. Five natural ingredients are used to brew their three beers.
Brewed & bottled by the monks on-site, you can only get these at the Abbey. Now you have an excuse to book that pilgrimage
