Taste profile

Legend has it

The Benedictines tell another legend of their founder, and it suits the abbey's dark beer. According to Pope Gregory the Great, a priest called Florentius lived near Benedict's monastery. He was so envious of Benedict that he tried to kill him with a loaf of poisoned bread. But when Benedict blessed the bread, a raven swept in and carried it away.

Beer stories travel from brewery to bar to guest, and rarely shrink on the way.

Interesting facts

Brewed by
Duvel Moortgat, under licence from the abbey since 1963. The beer is no longer brewed at the abbey but in Flanders.
The number 8
Maredsous is sold as 6, 8 and 10, and the number is the alcohol content. The brown is 8%.
Cheese too
The abbey still makes cheese in its own dairy: Maredsous, a loaf-shaped cow's milk cheese. A cheesemaking museum opened there in 2016.
The buildings
The abbey was designed by Jean-Baptiste de Béthune, leader of the neo-Gothic style in Belgium, on the plan of the Cistercian abbey at Villers-la-Ville. It was finished in 1892.
Especially good with

Steak frites, Belgian truffle.

Frequently asked questions

(More frequently asked questions)

Can I taste several beers at once?

Yes, with the beer box you pick six beers from our 24 taps, served in smaller tasting glasses. The staff are happy to help you put your flight together.

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 →
