Orval is brewed inside the abbey of Notre-Dame d'Orval in the Belgian Ardennes.

The story

Orval is brewed inside the abbey of Notre-Dame d'Orval in the Belgian Ardennes. The present brewery came into use in 1931 to fund the monastery's reconstruction, and the first beer left in May 1932.

Orval breaks nearly every Trappist convention: the brewery makes just one beer for the public, dry-hops it during a three-week maturation, and referments it with Brettanomyces. That is why Orval keeps changing in the bottle, growing drier, more austere and more alive as it ages. Ask us about the vintage, it genuinely matters.

Especially good with

Cheese croquette, goat cheese salad, or mussels with white wine, lemon & parsley.

Do you serve every beer in its proper glass?

Yes, just like in Belgium. Each brewery designs glassware to lift precisely their beer, and almost every beer here is served in its proper glass.

Does the beer selection change, or is it always the same?

Both: taps 1-16 are our permanent draughts, always on, while taps 17-24 are rotating guest taps, each beer stays on until the keg runs dry, then a new one takes its place. New bottles also arrive in the bottle cellar all the time. See what's pouring right now →
