Rochefort Abbey

Like some other Trappist monasteries in Belgium and the Netherlands, the monks of the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy in Rochefort brew beer: Rochefort.

In 1952, a significant investment was made that increased both the quality and quantity of the beer produced. The brewery became the main source of income for the abbey. In the 1970s, a complete renovation was again carried out. Rochefort is one of the seven abbeys that is allowed to use the 'Trappist beer' label.
