A Rare Look Inside Chimay⛪Brewery

I am honored that I was invited to tell the story of Chimay Trappist brewery especially since that seclusion is paramount for the monks of Chimay.
So, the abbey, the brewery and the dairy are unfortunately all closed to visitors. However, you will receive a warm welcome and able to taste all of Their products in the adjacent Espace Chimay complex which is down the road from the Abbey.
➡️ The distinctive Chimay brewing process starts with their own well mineral water that is used for brewing and its own home-grown yeast strain. Ever since the brewery was relaunched in 1948, this strain has been used for all its beers.
It is used for both the main fermentation, as well as to start up the re-fermentation, just before bottling. All the Chimay beers spend three weeks re-fermenting in the brewery's warm room.
This yeast is pretty special, becoming active at a high temperature, and it gives the beer its characteristically herbal and peppery touch. All this yeast-questing took roughly two years of research.
➡️ Chimay is an authentic Trappist ale.
That means that it is brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery under the supervision and responsibility of the monastic community, which is involved in the entire process of making and selling the ale.
The bulk of the revenue that this activity generates is used to finance social services and cover the community’s needs.

I was introduced to Chimay in 1978 and have been enjoying their beers ever since. Because the monks add a pinch of yeast to the bottle when they bottle the beer, it really improves over time, so I’ve aged bottles of the bleu in my cellar in St. Louis for years. I really appreciated the vintage video of Brother Theodore himself in the introduction! Your videos are truly high quality!
@drinkdestinations

Thanks so much for commenting and glad you enjoy them. FYI- It’s a two man operation from start to finish, but I love and am passionate about telling the stories of amazing brands around the world. Chimay beers age really well in proper cellar conditions. How long do you typically age Chimay? Is there a 1-2 year mark where you say this is the time or longer? Cheers and thanks for taking the time to comment. -Jeff

Beer, Wine and Spirits Bottles of the Chimay bleu or other Trappist quadruples like Rochefort 10 have disclaimers that the beer reaches it’s peak at the fifth year, but l’ve aged Chimay and other beers for 20-25 years, but I’ve since stopped aging that long. “Quads” like Chimay Premiere take on a quality very similar to port. Another Trappist “Quad” Westvleteren 12 is an ordinary beer when it’s fresh, but it is incredible after aging five years, and get’s better and better the longer it ages. The oldest Chimay that I currently have aging are about fifteen years old. The oldest Rochefort is ten years. My house was built in 1887 and the cellar has a dirt floor, so it’s always cool and damp. Unlike wine, beer bottles are meant to be stored upright. The beer needs to be “bottle conditioned” (yeast added) or it will go bad. In 2003, I found four magnum bottles of the bleu, vintage dated 1979, in a liquor store in Granite City, IL. I have since opened all of them for special occasions, the last at my godson’s rehearsal dinner in 2010 and they were all magnificent! There is a very famous bar in Antwerp named the Kulminator that has bottles of Chimay, Westvleteren, Westmalle, and Rochefort and many other beers aging in their cellar, some for up to 50 years. Two bars in the US, Ebenezer’s in Maine, and Sergio’s in Louisville, KY, are renown for their aged beers. Your videos look very good for only a two man operation. I would think that you could get a much more wider audience on other channels. Your passion shows! Cheers!

Has anyone else read that some breweries, when forced to relocate, took the wooden beams of their structures with them, so the wild yeast inherent in the original wooden beams would continue to produce the same spontaneous fermentation? I think I read that somewhere. 🤔
@drinkdestinations

Interesting and thanks for sharing! I haven’t heard this however I can see why as it takes a looooonnnnnnggggggggg time to build up wild yeast for spontaneous fermentation. I’m currently capturing wild yeast for a new Mezcal distillery around is land. Next we will work on getting the wild yeast to flourish around the fermentation vats. It’s not easy

Great comment and good eye😀. Unfiltered beer he describes still contains yeast cells that make the beer cloudy (think post fermentation). This is why you are able to age Chimay for longer periods of time. The machine you see in the video is called a mash filter. In contrast to the more common lautering practices where the wort is filtered by the husks in the grain bed layered on top of the false bottom of the mash or lauter tun, the mash filter mechanically separates the wort from the spent grains with pressure and cloth filters. It’s a technique that was pioneered in early twentieth-century Belgium by Philippe Meura, and today mash filters are mainstays at large breweries around the world because they facilitate much faster and more efficient brewing. Thanks for the comment and hope that answers your question. -Jeff

@@drinkdestinations Thanks a lot for the extended response. Never heard of this lautering technique before. By the way: It´s nice to see a youtuber putting that much effort and research into answering questions. You don´t find that often. Keep up the good work.

Letachja thanks so much. I really appreciate the comment and you watching the episode. It’s the least I could do. Usually you will see this mash filtration in big breweries that ship all over the world. Chimay exports so much beer globally and produces a lot of beer. I also seen this system at Delirium brewery as well and they export all over the world.

@@drinkdestinations I see. Is it still possible to do a sparge when you´re using a mash filter?
@drinkdestinations
@drinkdestinations 4 года назад
Letachja this is a great question but yes In fact you do still sparse. I’ll try to explain if it doesn’t make sense please tell me. So instead of the traditional lauter tun and sparging occurring through the grain, Using compressed air, the mash filter is pushed closed and all the mash is pumped from the mash mixer to the mash filter. After a short recirculation (Vorlauf), the wort is run-off from the mash filter to the kettle. Every other chamber on the mash filter has been fitted with a bladder. Water is pumped into the bladders at high pressure, thus squeezing the mash. Sparge water is added as well, similar to traditional lauter tun brewing. By squeezing the mash, less water is left behind in the mash, and more wort is extracted to the kettle. Efficiencies for mash filters typically run in percentages from mid-to-high 90s. This is how the mash filter works. After the sparging is complete they open each individual filter on the mash filter where all the spent grains from the mash will fall down into a container below and all spent grains go to a collection point where it’s hauled off to farms.

Chimay is very similar to Bud Light. It has a low alcohol content because it's fermented for just 2 days. Fruits & syrups are normally added to it to bring out its natural flavors & improve shelf life.

Chimay was originally brewed in New Jersey. It's acidic/floral okay makes it a perfect complement for smoked meats chocolate liqueurs. The Latin translation of Chimay is, "Moonlight Horizon".

They will put a hurting on ya! I’m with you, annihilated May be an understatement Hahahaha-Jeff

Hahahahaha thanks brother. The monks were walking around in their robes while I was there. I’m assuming that’s standard wear for them and also wear it when they brew. But I didn’t see them in the brew house while I was there. Can’t say it enough, but Thanks for the support brother. Really appreciate it. -Jeff
