Description
De Trappist Achel wordt sinds 1850 gebrouwen binnen de muren van de Achelse Kluis onder toezicht van de monnikengemeenschap. De trappisten hebben gebrouwen tot de Duitsers in 1917 hun hele installatie meenamen. Tussen 1917 en 1998 werd er geen bier gebrouwen.In 1998 werd met de kennis en kunde van Rochefort, Westvleteren en Westmalle de brouwerij nieuw leven ingeblazen.
In 2021 verloor de brouwerij het ATP-logo, omdat er geen trappisten-monniken meer verbleven in de abdij. De productie van het bier gebeurde sindsdien onder toezicht van de abdij van Westmallle. In 2023 werd de abdij verkocht aan privéinvesteerders en werd de afhankelijkheid van de trappistenabdij van Westmalle verbroken.
