Chimay Speciale Cent Cinquante 2012 750ml

Bires de Chimay, S.A., maker of Chimay Red, Triple and Blue, is pleased to announce a very special release for this years 150th anniversary of the founding of the Chimay brewery. To honor this momentous occasion, Chimay has created its first new beer in 46 years (only the fourth commercial beer in its history). Named Cent Cinquante (one hundred fifty in French), this golden ale boasts a hefty 10% ABV and comes bottled in a collectible screen printed 750ml bottle with an illustration of the abbey where each Chimay beer is still brewed.

Chimay is named after a small, pastoral village in Belgium, part of the southern French-speaking Walloon region, whose rich soils and rainy skies have supported agriculture for millennia. Chimay is home to a community of Trappist monks who have brewed the same ales, in the same monastery, since 1862. The Trappists were the pioneers of Belgian ales and each of their beers is invested with this expertise.
