There are only seven Trappist beers throughout the world. Koningshoeven Trappist Ale. Holland’s only Trappist beer. Brewed at the Abbey of "Onze Levee Vrouwe van Koningshoeven’ in the Dutch province of North Brabant, where, since 1884 the fathers have been brewing a truly glorious beer for the real connoisseur using traditional methods.

The recipe that has been created by the Trappist Fathers has given connoisseurs the enjoyment of the traditional beers from Koningshoeven Trappist ale for more than the last hundred years. Our brewing methods require nothing less than pure and natural ingredients: hops, barley malt, yeast and water from our own spring. Fermentation occurs using a yeast type that is most active at a temperature between 18 and 20˚C. This process we call ‘top fermentation’. The beer is then bottled along with yeast and sugar. The beer is then free to ferment in the bottle itself, and it is here that it develops its unique aroma. Both taste and smell are allowed to develop over the fullness of time. And the superb result is Koningshoeven Trappist ale: an authentic Trappist beer. The Trappist fathers are themselves no longer employed in the brewery, but they do keep a close eye on the brewing process and are the owners of the trademark Koningshoeven Trappist ale. Only if a beer is really brewed in a Trappist abbey can it be called a Trappist beer. A guarantee of authenticity, of technique and of tradition.
