Trappistes Rochefort comes from the abbey of Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy, near the town of Rochefort in the Belgian province of Namur. The abbey was founded around 1230. Around 1595 a brewery within the walls is mentioned for the first time. After the French Revolution the abbey was closed and demolished; only in 1887 did monks come to live there again, from Achel.
The monks follow the Rule of Benedict: pray and work. The brewery exists to support the community. The water comes from the Tridaine spring. Before the beer leaves the abbey, it is tasted every Friday, with a monk present.
The Authentic Trappist Product label was introduced in 1997 by the International Trappist Association and sets three requirements: the beer is brewed within or close to the abbey, it is done under the supervision of the monks, and the proceeds go to the community and to good causes. Rochefort meets these.
The numbers on the labels come from an old Belgian measure of wort density, formerly used for beer excise duty. The higher the number, the heavier the beer. Triple Extra is the youngest beer of the four.
Four beers, one abbey, one source. The number on the label tells you how strong the bottle is.
