Our brewery is very modern, yet completely adapted to the traditional brewing process. At Westmalle, we aim to achieve a balance betweeninnovation and tradition. We use the latest techniques but still want to see, test and taste everything for ourselves.
The brewery is located within the walls of the Trappist abbey. The monks set policy and oversee its implementation. They use the income to live on and to reinvest in the brewery. Surplus profits are shared with other Cistercian abbeys and donated to charitable causes.
Westmalle is a Trappist Brewery and so adheres to the standards set by the Trappist Association.
