A centenary legacy in each drop
From the quiet lands of Belgium, an almost mythical story of tradition and beer mastery turns 150 turns to the sun. The Chimay brewery, managed by monks during all that time, has developed a jewel that reflects its spirit: a beer that combines history, art and passion in each sip. His official arrival in the market in 2023 seeks not only to honor the past, but also consolidate as a symbol of innovation within the trapense world.
The Golden Revolution: Chimay 150
The celebration of the 150 years did not go unnoticed. In 2012, the brewery surprised with a limited edition of only 150,000 bottles to commemorate that brand. The reception was so enthusiastic that, after years of waiting, Chimay has decided to make this jewel available to everyone. A premium beer, with the same recipe developed at the time, that maintains its trapense essence and makes it part of its permanent catalog.
A sensory experience that combines tradition and innovation
We are not talking only about a feast for the palate, but of an aromatic trip that captivates from the first moment. Its appearance is of a pale gold, crowned by a creamy and persistent foam. But what truly attracts attention is its aromas in harmony: fresh mint, bergamot, citrus touches and a slight nuance to eucalyptus. When taste it, the mixture of rosemary, nail, and a pinch of ginger electrifies the meaning, leaving delicate and floral notes that affirm its unique character.
¿Qué la hace diferente? A secret touch and selected techniques
In their process, Lupulos Saaz and Hallertau Mittelfrüh are used, known for their subtlety and delicate aroma, in a recipe that also incorporates an unrelated spice, providing that spark of singularity. With a 10% alcohol content and an aromatic balance that invites us to repeat the experience, Chimay 150 reflects the mastery of those who produce it and the commitment to quality.
A natural journey around Golden History
For those who prefer interaction with nature, the brewery has enabled a hiking route in the forests that surround the abbey, decorated with the colors of this new golden deity. This 10 -kilometer path not only offers impressive views, but also the opportunity to better understand the monastic tradition that this liquid jewel supports. And if you are thirsty, do not forget that in the Auberge of Poteupré a cold awaits you to close the experience with a brooch of gold.
Ready for the great arrival?
From the first day of June, Chimay 150 will become a constant presence on the shelves and tables. Initially available in 33 centiliter bottles, in a short time it will also arrive in a classic 75 CL format with cork, perfect for sharing and celebrating. Its presence will be extended from hospitality channels to the main international markets, carrying that golden spark beyond its borders.
In this way, Chimay not only reinforces his legacy, but continues to pursue a balance between tradition and modernity, inviting fans and new palates to explore his golden history with each sip.
