Beers » Belgian Abbey Ales
Abbey ales are part of Belgium's age old tradition. At the moment there are very few working monasteries brewing there own beer within the order, instead many of these monastries have licensed large commercial breweries to produce beers bearing their abbey name. The character of these Abbey Ales can differ enormously from each other but they are usually strong in alcohol with values between 6% and 10%. Abbey Ales are usually labelled as either Dubbel - less alcholic and darker or Tripel - lighter or blond in colour with a syrupy, alcoholic feel in the mouth that encourages sippping, not quick drinking. St. Feuillien, St. Bernardus, Maredsous, Leffe, Karmeliet, Grimbergen, Corsendonk, Augustijn and Hett Kapital all fit into this category.
