Koningshoeven Brewery is the only Trappist brewery in the Netherlands and was founded within the walls of the Onze Lieve Vrouw van Koningshoeven abbey in Berkel-Enschot (near Tilburg and about 12 kilometers [7.5 miles] from the Belgian border) in 1884. It is the most commercial of the seven Trappist breweries and brewing operations were even licensed to Artois (now InBev) from 1969 to 1980 when the majority of the production was pilsner. Development of the current line of beers started in 1982 with the introduction of their Dubbel, the Tripel in 1983, and Quadrupel in 1991, followed by a Blond in 1992. The brewery was fully refurbished in 1989 and again in 1999. They also brewed an Enkel (single) but, being too similar to the Blond, it was dropped in 2000. Finding young able-bodied monks to work at the brewery proved difficult and Koningshoeven set up a company together with national brewer Bavaria in 1999 to assist with operations. The brewery name was changed from Trappistenbierbrouwerij De Schaapskooi to Brouwerij De Koningshoeven. Day-to-day production was soon taken over by Bavaria, and in a widely publicized dispute with the other Trappists they lost their Trappist status until 2005 when the monks agreed to take a more active role in the brewery. Today they brew Bavaria brewery’s Moreeke ale, the world’s only Trappist witbier, Puur (kölsch) and bock, Tilburg’s Dutch Brown Ale for export, and some private labels for contract brewers such as Jopen and Urthel. The latest work-in-progress is a range of barrel-aged beers.
