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.

In 1926 pasten de monniken het recept aan van hun donkere bier tot de Westmalle Dubbel zoals we die vandaag kennen.
Daarmee legden ze de basis voor een bier dat zou uitgroeien tot een klassieker van de Belgische biercultuur. En na 100 jaar valt daar natuurlijk nog heel wat meer over te vertellen.
Wordt vervolgd.

Van zwart-wit naar kleur, maar het gevoel blijft hetzelfde.
Onze abdijtoren kijkt al generaties lang uit over Westmalle.
Hoe lang denk jij dat er tussen deze twee beelden zit?

Master op de grill, meester in het glas.
Een goede barbecue draait niet alleen om wat er op het vuur ligt, maar ook om wat je erbij schenkt. De Extra, de Dubbel en de Tripel brengen elk hun eigen karakter mee aan tafel.

Wanneer de temperaturen stijgen, houden we het liefst het hoofd koel. Met z’n 4,8% alcohol en karaktervolle, volmondige smaak is onze Extra de ideale dorstlesser voor een hete zomerdag.
Staat hij bij jou al koud? 🍻
