St.Bernardus Tripel is a traditional abbey beer that follows the classic tripel style. In the Watou region a tripel is often referred to as a ‘Bernadetje’. A fine tribute that pays homage to Bernadette, the youngest daughter of Evariste Deconinck, the man to whom the monks of Abbaye Sainte Marie du Mont des Cats sold their Belgian property in 1934. St.Bernardus Tripel is a blonde beer with an inviting golden hue and an impressive, velvety-soft head of froth. St.Bernardus Tripel has a slightly sweet aroma and a flowery, fruity taste in which bitter and sweet merge harmoniously. Thanks to its pleasant hoppiness, the mouth feel of this beer is nothing short of beatific - it quenches your thirst and stimulates the appetite and this is what we call a perfect combination. A hugely accessible beer that is surprisingly light in character.
In 2018, the brewery further strengthened its positioning as a destination for beer-loving tourists with the addition of an entire new wing, with room for more warehouses, a new brewery shop, spaces for events, conventions and seminars, and to cap it all off, ‘Bar Bernard’, a spectacular 360° rooftop bar plus tasting room. As of 2023, visitors can also take a Brewery Tour, a museum-style experience where they can explore the unique story behind St.Bernardus at their own pace. At the end of 2022, a brand-new three-storey production hall opened its doors, with a bottling area for filling and packaging, more room to store boxes, glassware and other packaging materials, additional offices and a new lab. The new bottling area improved the sustainability of the production process in various ways and allowed for further logistics innovations. Another new warehouse at Sappenleen, an industrial park in Poperinge, was added in the course of 2023 as well. As of 2023, annual sales have grown to 50,000 hectolitres, or 5 million litres in volume. Those 15 million 33cl bottles of beer are being appreciated in more than 80 countries. Approximately 55% is sold within Belgium. The United States is the largest foreign market, followed by the Netherlands and France.
