About this product
Achel 8' Blond
The Achelse Kluis was a recent addition to the Trappist offering. Although there has been an Monastery since the 12th Century, it is only recently that the Abbey has revived the brewery and started brewing again. The Achelse Kluis was a recent addition to the Trappist offering.
A pale, strong, fruity, hoppy Trappist ale from Belgium's newest Abbey brewery. Achel 8° is hard to find even in Belgium.
The Saint Benedictus Abbey of Achel is the first monastery to take up brewing in Belgium since 1931, and is one of only six Trappist breweries now operating there. In fact, the Abbey is located partly in Holland and partly in Belgium, but the brewery is in Belgium. The new Achel 8° is only available in the bottle.
This blond, flavourful beer is a surprisingly refreshing brew at 8% alcohol by volume. It is lightly filtered, but still wholesomely hazy with yeast remaining in the bottle.

VISIT BREWERY PAGE
Achel brewery is one of the smallest and youngest Trappist breweries in the world, but has one of the most fascinating histories. Beer was brewed on site as far back as 1648, but in 1914 the Germans occupied Belgium and the Abbey, stripping the copper vats to salvage the metal for the war effort. It was only in 1998 at the monks decided to start brewing again to raise money for the monastery.

One of the newest Trappist BlondsYou've probably read about the monastery being the founder of the newest brewery in Belgium. This is one of their 'new' beers. It is a wonderful golden colour and considering it undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle is amazingly uncloudy. It is the only Achel beer I have tried and at 8% is very refreshing and makes you want another glass. Belgian Blonds are my absolute favourite and this is one of the very best; at this price it's a bargain too!
