A Gentle Embrace of Fruity Notes and Light Spice

Chimay Première, also known as Chimay Red, is revered for its deep heritage and unique flavor profile. Originating as the oldest brew from the Trappist brewery, it presents a clear-brown hue, accented by a solid lacing that endures with each sip. Praised for its medicinal, caramel malt, red plum, cherry, and brown sugar characteristics, which persist from nose to palate, balanced by medium carbonation for a refreshing and dry, spicy finish​.

Chimay beers are produced in the Scourmont Abbey, located in the Belgian municipality of Chimay. The abbey, founded in 1850, has a long history of beer brewing, beginning in 1862. This monastic brewing tradition is part of the Trappist heritage, which mandates brewing within the monastery under the monks’ supervision, with proceeds supporting the monastery and its charitable endeavors​.

The rich, complex flavors of Chimay Red make it a versatile companion to a range of foods. Its fruity and spicy notes pair well with hearty dishes, cheeses, and desserts, enhancing the culinary experience with its layered tastes​.
