Description

Rochefort is a Trappist beer brewed in the Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy Abbey in Rochefort in the Belgian province of Namur. The main raw materials for the production of beer are water, barley malt, sugar, hops and yeast. Water, a quantitatively and qualitatively extremely important raw material, comes directly from the source of the Tridaine. This spring is fed by the water table near the abbey. This naturally pure water is not subjected to any chemical, physical or other treatment. As for the yeast, it is carefully kept and preserved in the abbey. It is the yeast that enables the sugar to be converted into alcohol. This yeast, which has mutated over time, has become unique and specific to the brewery, which thus has its own strain.
