Chimay Triple

Chimay Triple — The Belgian Trappist Beer Par Excellence

Chimay Triple, also known as Cinq Cents ("Five Hundred"), is one of the most iconic Trappist beers in the world. The recipe dates back to 1966 and is produced by the monks of the Notre-Dame de Scourmont Abbey in the heart of Walloon Belgium. The name "Cinq Cents" celebrates the five hundredth anniversary of the principality of Chimay, when it was introduced in the 75cl format in 1986. Now also available in can — a great innovation for this historic Trappist brewery.
