The Brewery: The Cistercian Abbey "Notre-Dame du Val-Dieu" was founded in 1216 by monks from Hocht, near Liège.
Origin: According to legend, the uninhabited valley in which they settled was so hostile that the local population nicknamed it "Valley of the Devil". The monks renamed it "Valley of God", which later gave its name to the Abbey. The Abbey of Val-Dieu is the only Belgian Abbey to have survived the French Revolution. The Christian community of Val-Dieu still occupies the place and is united to the Cistercian Order. It is the only Belgian Abbey beer 100% brewed in a living Abbey, just like the famous Belgian Trappist beers.

Val Dieu Hop
Ein Frühlings-und Sommerbier, eher leicht und sehr fruchtig - macht Spass! Es fehlt ihm allerdings die Fülle und Kraft seines grossen Verwandten: Val Dieu Triple - einem der besten Biere überhaupt. Bloss kriegt man‘s nirgends.
