Westmalle trappistenbier Extra, Tripel en Dubbel in café

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.

Discover our brewery

Visit the brewery

It’s almost that time again! On Friday 25 and Saturday 26 September, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., we will once again open the doors of our brewery. Join us for a walk through the brewery and follow the beer’s journey from raw ingredients to bottle. Ready to come and explore with us?

Westmalle Duo: blond on tap!

The Westmalle Duo, our blond beer exclusively on tap, is back!

A fruity, balanced and accurately hopped beer with 7.2% alcohol that is best enjoyed on tap. Don’t miss it!

Ter ere van 100 jaar Westmalle Dubbel trakteren we komende weken in een selectie cafés op een portie speciale Westmalle-kaas wanneer je een Dubbel van ’t vat bestelt.

Deze kaas werd speciaal voor ons jubileum bereid mét Westmalle Dubbel en rijpte minstens 100 dagen. Eenmalig gemaakt, dus op is op! 

Benieuwd waar je terechtkan? Hou onze blog in de gaten, want daar staat het overzicht met alle deelnemende zaken.

Wie heeft er zin in een cafébezoekje?
