For the first time, we are bringing a blonde beer exclusively on draught: Westmalle Duo. This unique blend of Westmalle Tripel and Extra combines the fresh, thirst-quenching character of Extra with the full-bodied flavour of Tripel. The result? A fruity, balanced and accurately hopped beer of 7.2% alcohol that is at its best on draught. Only 5,000 barrels available – don’t miss out!
More infoBecause 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!

Subscribe to the newsletterOur 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.
