Cinq Cents Triple Chimay

The Cinq Cents Triple by Chimay

Belgian Trappist Cinq Cents Triple beer is brewed by Trappist monks from Scourmont Abbey (near Chimay, a municipality in the province of Hainaut), who have been brewing beer for over 170 years. As a true Trappist beer, it is brewed under their supervision and the proceeds from sales are spent almost exclusively on social welfare projects. Initially producing beers for the refectory, the monks only started marketing them in 2013. Chimay Cinq Cents was created in 1966.

How is Cinq Cents Triple made?

Monks prefer to brew this top-fermented ale beer from local ingredients. The hops for example (Hallertau Mittelfrüh variety) come from the countryside of Vodelée and the water is that of the well of the monastery.
