Known for a full range of styles

Trappistes Rochefort is the brewery of the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy, a Trappist monastery just north of the town of the same name in the Belgian province of Namur. Brewing at the abbey is recorded from 1595; the monks left in the 1790s, returned in 1887, and the present brewery dates from 1899. Today's range began in 1950 with Rochefort 6, followed by 8 and 10, dark ales named after old Belgian gravity degrees. A new brewhouse came into use in 2020, and with it Triple Extra, the only pale beer. Water comes from the nearby Tridaine spring.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
