== Trapist and Abbey beers ==
In early times brewing beer had a strong religious character in Belgium, almost every abbey had its own beer.
* '''Trappist''': This kind of beer is still brewed by monks in their abbey. Worldwide there are still 11 trappist breweries, 6 in Belgium, two in the [[Netherlands]], one in the [[United States]], [[Austria]] and [[Italy]].
* '''Abbey beers''': This kind of beers originate from an abbey but is no longer brewed by monks in their abbey, mostly the receip is sold to an industrial brewery wich took over the brewing process.
