Discover the Chimay Belgian Trappist Beer Range

Chimay has been brewed at Scourmont Abbey in Belgium since 1862 and is one of the best-known names in Belgian Trappist beer.

Each beer has its own distinct character, ranging from lighter golden ales to powerful dark beers designed for slower sipping.

Chimay Blue – Grande Réserve

Chimay Blue is a rich, dark Belgian Trappist ale at 9.0% ABV. Expect layers of dark fruit, caramelised malt, toffee and warming spice, followed by a long, complex finish.

Its fuller body and strength make it particularly popular with drinkers who enjoy strong Belgian ales, and it can also develop additional complexity over time in the bottle.

Chimay Red – Première

Chimay Red is a 7.0% ABV Belgian Trappist Dubbel with a deep copper to ruby colour.

Flavours of peach, apricot and orange combine with caramel, toffee and biscuit-like malt, creating a rounded beer with plenty of fruit and malt complexity.

Chimay White – Cinq Cents

Chimay White, also known as Chimay Cinq Cents, is an 8.0% ABV Belgian Tripel.

Golden in colour, it combines ripe fruit and citrus with honeyed malt, aromatic hops and gentle spice before finishing crisp and dry.

Chimay Gold – Dorée

Chimay Gold is the lightest of the core Chimay range at 4.8% ABV.

Originally associated with the monks’ table beer, it offers a refreshing combination of citrus, orchard fruit, soft malt and subtle spice, making it an approachable introduction to Chimay.

What Makes Chimay Beer Trappist?

Chimay beers are brewed at Scourmont Abbey, following the principles associated with authentic Trappist brewing.

Trappist beer is not a single beer style. Instead, the term refers to beers produced in connection with a Trappist monastery under specific conditions. That means the Chimay range can include several styles, including Blonde, Dubbel, Tripel and strong dark ales.

This variety is one reason Chimay is such a useful brewery for anyone looking to explore the wider world of Belgian Trappist beer.

Which Chimay Beer Should You Try?

If you prefer something lighter and refreshing, Chimay Gold is a good starting point.

For rich malt and fruit, Chimay Red offers classic Dubbel character, while Chimay White delivers a drier, more aromatic Tripel experience.

Those looking for the richest and strongest expression should explore Chimay Blue, with its combination of dark fruit, caramelised malt and warming complexity.

You can also explore Chimay alongside other international breweries in our World Beer collection.

Chimay Mixed Cases & Belgian Beer Gifts

Can't decide which Chimay beer to choose? A Chimay mixed case is a simple way to compare several styles from the brewery side by side.

Mixed selections also make excellent Belgian beer gifts, particularly for anyone interested in Trappist brewing or stronger European ales. From tasting different Chimay beers together to pairing them with cheese or rich food, they offer plenty of variety in one case.

How to Serve Chimay Beer

Chimay beers are traditionally enjoyed in a wide chalice-style glass, which allows the aroma and generous head to develop.

The stronger beers benefit from being served cool rather than ice-cold, allowing their fruit, malt and spice character to become more expressive as they warm slightly in the glass.

Food pairing options include mature cheese, roast meats, rich stews and desserts, depending on the particular Chimay beer you choose.
