Dear friends, may I introduce myself as the Belgian Tripel from the illustrious St. Bernardus family. Born out of a friendly rivalry with my esteemed dark siblings, I stand tall with a radiant, pale gold-amber hue, adorned with a velvety head of foam.
Crafted with St. Bernardus' very own hops, nurtured next to our cherished brewery, I embody the spirit of authenticity. Prepare to embark on a delightful journey as I unfold layers of flavor. With each sip, savor the delicate interplay of spice, hints of orange, and a gentle grassiness that dances across your palate. And let's not forget the warming touch of alcohol that adds a touch of joy to every encounter.
As one of the region's most cherished Belgian Tripels, I invite you to join me in celebration of camaraderie and the pleasure of good company. Raise your glass, my friends, and let us revel in the joyous moments that St. Bernardus brings forth.

St. Bernardus is an abbey brewery with a history connected to Trappist monks. Back in the 1800s, anti-clericalism forced the Catsberg Abbey monks to leave France for Belgium, where they founded the Refuge Notre Dame de St. Bernard and produced cheese to finance themselves. In 1946, shortly after the second World War, they entered into an agreement with a neighbouring abbey called Sint-Sixtus Westvleteren, to brew and market their full-bodied and quality Trappist beers. After decades of brewing the famed Westvleteren Trappist ales under license, it was in 1992 that these ales became known as St. Bernardus. As such, the St. Bernardus abbey ales are today, the closest commercially-available match in both flavour and recipe to the great and elusive Westvletern ales.
