Buy Trappist Beer Switzerland – Order Authentic Monastery Beers Online

Trappist beers are among the most fascinating and coveted beers in the world. Their history dates back centuries – and their taste remains unparalleled to this day. At TheCrafts.ch, you'll find a curated selection of authentic Trappist beers and traditional monastery beers, which we deliver directly to you in Switzerland, Graubünden, and Liechtenstein.

What is an authentic Trappist beer?

Not every beer that calls itself "monastery beer" is an authentic Trappist beer. The official "Authentic Trappist Product" label from the International Trappist Association (ITA) guarantees that the beer:

• is brewed within the walls of a Trappist monastery
• is produced under the direct supervision or involvement of the monks
• the profits primarily benefit the monastery and social projects

Worldwide, there are only 14 recognized Trappist breweries – including legends like Westvleteren, Westmalle, Rochefort, Orval, and Chimay from Belgium, as well as La Trappe from the Netherlands.

Buy Westvleteren – the rarest beer in the world

Westvleteren 12 is considered one of the best beers in the world and is rarely available in Switzerland. TheCrafts.ch offers you access to these and similar rarities – curated, authentic, and delivered securely packaged.

Monastery Beers: Tradition without a label

Monastery beers like Affligem, Leffe, or La Trappe are based on monastic tradition but are produced commercially. They are ideal for beginners who want to discover the world of monastery beers – full-bodied, complex, and with history.

Which Trappist beer is right for me?

• Westmalle Dubbel – dark, malty, notes of caramel and dried fruit
• Chimay Bleu – strong, spicy, ideal with cheese and game
• Orval – dry, hoppy, with a unique Brett note
• Rochefort 10 – dark, complex, one of the great classics
