Chimay, 3 June 2025 – The Trappist Abbey of Scourmont is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year. Founded in 1850, this Cistercian abbey in the heart of the Hainaut region is the birthplace of the Chimay Brewery, world-renowned for its Trappist beers.

To celebrate the Abbey's 175 years of history, commitment and its local roots, the Chimay Trappist brewery is unveiling an exclusive creation: Chimay 175. A lively yet refined limited edition blond beer, brewed in the spirit of the monastic tradition.

This new addition to the Chimay family boasts a bright blonde colour, a fine, persistent head and an elegant nose with aromas of citrus fruit, red apple and spices such as cardamom and coriander. On the palate, Chimay 175 reveals a harmonious balance between fruity freshness and spicy complexity, with a dry and subtly piquant finish.

With an alcohol content of 6.5% and an ideal serving temperature between 4 and 6°C, Chimay 175 is a refreshing beer to be enjoyed during this commemorative year.
