Rochefort
The monks of Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy at Rochefort have records of brewing from 1595. They rebuilt the brewery after returning to the abbey in 1887 and have sold their beer since 1910. Rochefort 6 is a dubbel, Rochefort 10 a dark strong ale, and 8 is a brown beer; Triple Extra, a tripel, joined the range in 2020. All carry the Authentic Trappist Product label.
