Religious order: Cistercians (13th century). The abbey used to have a great tradition of beer brewing which revives again thanks to some laymen who took over the brewery of Val Dieu, which remains inside the walls of the monastery. The four specialties of the Val Dieu are: lager, brown ale, tripple and a "Christmas Special".
