We celebrate 100 weeks of #BeerSaturday with a very special beer

in #beersaturday5 years ago (edited)

A beer, picked up at the Abbey Val Dieu, to celebrate.

Some weeks ago we went to the monks of the Abbey of Val Dieu and got one of their best Beers for a very special evening.

We had even some support from @jeanpi1908 as we got a few more bottles of beer from the monks of the Abbey of Val Dieu.

Some facts about Val Dieu

The 800 year old brewery is always a good place for a short visit.

The beer of Val Dieu is synonymous of quality and authenticity. It is the only Belgian abbey beer to be 100% brewed in a living abbey such as the famous Belgian Trappist beers. Website of Val Dieu

The monks of the Abbey of Val Dieu are the ones who are at the origin of the beers which are brewed today on the site. Historically, the Cistercian monks were famous for their qualities as brewers. The monks of Val Dieu are in line with this reputation.


The cuve 800 beer

In 2016 the abbey of Val-Dieu, celebrated its 800th anniversary - 800 years young and still going strong. Among the celebrations was the launch of this light, refreshing blonde, Cuvée 800.

This sounds perfect for my 100 weeks of BeerSaturday celebration.

And yes, I had a little taste of the beer at the Abbey during my visit.

The taste of the Cuvee 800

It is a fresh and tasty beer, as many other of the Val Dieu beers. The Cuvee 800 has a rating of 91/100 from RateBeer.

This beer’s hoppy character comes from dry hopping, which also enhances its citrus notes. The Val-Dieu beers are also noteworthy for the use of soft water, taken from a reservoir created by damming the river Gileppe in an area of Belgium that is known for the quality of its water.

Where is this Val Dieu Abbey ?

Between Amsterdam and Luxenburg from north to south and between Paris / Brussels and Cologne from west to east, there is the old Abbey.

And more or less the whole little country of Belgium where all this great beer comes from.
