Located within the confines of the Abbey in Belgium, the Orval Brewery was created in 1931 to finance the enormous reconstruction works of Orval. It has hired lay workers from the outset, including the master brewer, Pappenheimer, who invented the recipe. The distinctive fruity and bitter taste of Orval beer means it has become a genuine reference in the exclusive world of authentic Trappist beers. Orval beer is a high fermentation beer. The aging process adds a fruity note, which strikes a subtle balance between the beer’s full-bodied yet complex flavor and bitterness.
