De Koningshoeven Brewery[edit | edit source]
De Koningshoeven Brewery, also known as the Trappist Brewery of Koningshoeven, is a Dutch brewery located in the town of Berkel-Enschot, near Tilburg. It is one of the eleven Trappist breweries in the world and is famous for producing high-quality Trappist beers.
History[edit | edit source]
The brewery was founded in 1884 by a group of Trappist monks from the Abbey of Koningshoeven. The monks had a long tradition of brewing beer within the abbey walls, and they decided to establish a commercial brewery to support their monastery.
Initially, the brewery produced beer solely for the consumption of the monks and the local community. However, over time, the demand for their beers grew, and they began selling their products to the general public.
