A Trappist beer bar in Sainte-Catherine with a monastic theme — rare abbey ales, candlelight, and reverent appreciation, a pilgrimage for the devoted. Order rare abbey ales — Westvleteren if available, Orval and Chimay otherwise — by candlelight, treating beer as a kind of spiritual practice. Come in the evening for the monastic atmosphere, exploring the Sainte-Catherine neighbourhood. The monks would approve. It is a beer pilgrimage — a candlelit shrine to Trappist ales where the rarest abbey beers are treated with genuine reverence. For Belgium's monastic brewing tradition taken seriously, in an atmosphere of hushed appreciation, it's the destination for the devoted, and the chance at a Westvleteren makes it worth the trip.
