Info This is the Rochefort Trappist Brewery in Abbey of Our Lady of Saint-Remy, Wallonia, Belgium. Here are brewed three of the most renowned beers of the world. Brewing is the main source of income for the monastery since the 16th century. The brewery was renovated in 1952 and produces high fermentation beer. The Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance is known for their seclusion and the brewery is not accessible to the public. --LucaG 23:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support How did you manage to enter, as the brewery is indeed not accessible to the public? Very nice picture. And the beer is fa-bu-lous! -- MJJR 21:02, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible, not easy, to visit the brewery by appointment. I visited this legendary place (for a beer passionate) with Lorenzo Dabove, an international beer taster, that managed to obtain this appointment. I completely agree with you: Rochefort 6, 8 and 10 are fabulous! --LucaG 22:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Beer outside of bavaria does not live up to its name. That is my opinion. But we are not here to judge the beer, are we? ;-) About the image: good light, good composition and encyclopedic value --Simonizer 13:03, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let's talk about Bavarian beers, too :)). I loved tasting Schneider's Aventinus Weizenstarkbier in Munich, the amazing Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier in Bamberg and many others Bavarian (and Franconian) jewels. But try to sip one glass of Rochefort 10 (or Westvleteren 12) late after dinner on your sofa at home listening to you preferred music... I'm sure you will change your mind about belgian beers ;-) --LucaG 23:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice composition. --MichaelMaggs 22:00, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support This support is conditionnal... I love beer but I don't know Rochefort 6, 8 or even 10. Send me some bottles, if I like I will maintain my vote :-) Sanchezn 22:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rochefort 6 is quite rare as it is brewed only once a year. This variety represents only 1% of the total production. I have 6 bottles of Rochefort 6 here. I'll share this liquid gold with the first five of you guys that will reach me in Milan, Italy. (for supporters only :) --LucaG 23:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suddenly, we are considering spending a week end in Milan 8:-) Beware not to be caught for corruption by an administrator :) Benh 22:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support I'd have been surprised if Sanchezn hadn't supported this :) he brought 2 cases of beer from Germany last week. Nice subject. Benh 23:11, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
