The Orval Chalice Glass is the sacred vessel through which the esteemed Orval Trappist beer reveals its true essence.
I'm a meticulously crafted glass adorned with intricate etchings, boasting a seamless transition from its body to stem, while my distinguished silver rim harmonizes with the abbey's iconic blue and grey emblem.
Designed to perfection, my narrow base inspires a mesmerizing display of effervescent bubbles, while a wide mouth captures and preserves a luscious foam head. Sip from my hallowed glass and immerse yourself into the heart of Orval's rich brewing tradition, I guarantee you an authentic and transformative experience!
It was the year 1070. Cistercian monks arrived in Gaume and settled down for about 40 years before leaving for unknown reasons. A small community of canons and, much later on, 7 monks formed a single community and led pretty quiet lives until the French revolution. In order to finance the massive reconstruction of the charred remains of their abbey, the Cistercians established the Orval Brewery in 1931. Right from the start, the monastery hired lay-brewers to help brew the beers, including a master brewer who invented the recipe of the now-legendary Orval Trappist Ale. Orval Brewery only produces one beer, which is the Trappist Ale, but it is one of the most sought-after beers in the world!
