The abbey sells beer only to private persons. You come with your car, drive up to the loading dock and load a max of 5 crates.
Open:
10-12 h and 14-17 h
closed on fridays and sundays
What to buy: They sell three sorts of beer:
- blond (5.8%)
- 8% (dark)
- 12% (dark)
Only sold in crates of 24.
Due to a limited production they don't always have all three sorts. You can get inquiries upfront by dialing the beerphone: 057-401057
What to pay: Current prices can be found on the abbeys website.
It is around 25-30 Euro a crate including deposit money for the crate and the bottles.
