Discover the new Westmalle Extra glass!
Because the Westmalle Extra, with its lower alcohol content, deserves its own glass, we are introducing a specially designed one. Not a traditional chalice glass, but a modern conical design inspired by the original glasses from the 1920s and 1930s. For all details and to order the glass, read on!

Step into our brewery
Our brewery is very modern, yet completely adapted to the traditional brewing process. At Westmalle, we aim to achieve a balance between innovation and tradition. We use the latest techniques but still want to see, test and taste everything for ourselves.
The brewery is located within the walls of the Trappist abbey. The monks set policy and oversee its implementation. They use the income to live on and to reinvest in the brewery. Surplus profits are shared with other Cistercian abbeys and donated to charitable causes.

Het is een langlopende discussie: van het vat of de fles – wat is beter? 🍻
Bij Westmalle snappen we dat er voor onze Dubbel twee kampen zijn. Van het vat proef je hem net dat tikje zachter, voller en directer, dankzij de verse schuimkraag en rijke aroma’s die opwellen zodra hij getapt wordt. De fles heeft dan weer z’n eigen charme, waarin de smaken zich verder ontwikkelen en de gisting op de fles zorgt voor dat perfecte, licht prikkelende karakter.
Dus vertel het ons: ben jij #TeamVat of #TeamFles?

‘Traditie kan niet zonder verandering.’ – een wijsheid van Broeder Benedikt
We houden vast aan onze tradities, maar gaan ook met de tijd mee. Zo zorgen we ervoor dat elk glas Westmalle altijd datzelfde tijdloze karakter heeft.
Proef het zelf – traditie smaakt goed!
