La Trappe Trappist - Abdij O.L.V. Koningshoeven
Commercial Brewery
in Berkel-Enschot,
Noord-Brabant,
Netherlands 🇳🇱
Owned by
Bavaria Brouwerij (Swinkels Family Brewers)
Associated Venue: Proeflokaal La Trappe
Established in 1884
Within the abbey walls, Brewery de Koningshoeven produces Dutch Trappist ale. Still under the supervision and responsibility of the monks and still based on the inner conviction "to do good": part of the proceeds go to charities. These original principles provide La Trappe Trappist with the exclusive label "Authentic Trappist Product" from the International Trappist Association.
Between 1969 and 1980 the beers were produced under license by Artois (InBev). By 1999 the monastery had become a subsidery of Bavaria - Netherlands this resulted in La Trappe beers no longer displaying the Authentic Trappist Product label. In 2005 an agreement was reached by which the monks would take a more active part in the brewery operation and so the label was restored.

IBottled. thought this was an excellent witte. Murky pour with a smallish head at best, lots of lemon obviously and acidity. Pretty good I thought.

Bottled - koenigs hoeven. A pretty good dubbel that had a sweet taste and a shiny reddish color, actually probably one of the few good dutch-made beers I’ve ever had.

Pour clear deep mahogany into a trappist glass. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Caramel and brown bread aromas. Medium bodied with earthy raisin bread and caramel upfront turning to dry, sour earth in the medium length finish.
