La Trappe

La Trappe is a Dutch beer brand associated with Onze Lieve Vrouw van Koningshoeven Abbey in Berkel-Enschot, North Brabant. Its origins date to 1884, when Trappist monks at the abbey began brewing beer. The brand takes its name from the Trappist tradition and is produced by the abbey’s brewery, Bierbrouwerij de Koningshoeven. The portfolio includes several Belgian-inspired and abbey-style beer families, including Blond, Dubbel, Tripel and Quadrupel, alongside other specialty and seasonal beers. La Trappe is marketed in the Netherlands and internationally. Its brewing and commercial activities have involved cooperation with Swinkels Family Brewers, while the brand remains closely identified with the monastery and its Trappist brewing heritage. La Trappe’s identity is grounded in the Trappist model of monastic brewing: production takes place at the abbey, and the brand presents its beers as products of that religious and brewing tradition. The official website identifies the offering as La Trappe Trappist and provides region selection for visitors. The brand is active.

La Trappe’s history is tied to Onze Lieve Vrouw van Koningshoeven Abbey in Berkel-Enschot, in the Netherlands. The abbey’s Trappist monks began brewing beer in 1884. The brewery developed into the commercial producer Bierbrouwerij de Koningshoeven, with La Trappe as its best-known beer brand. The brand is part of the wider Trappist brewing tradition, in which beer-making is associated with monastic communities. La Trappe’s brewery is located at the abbey, and the brand’s identity continues to emphasize that connection. Its beers are sold under the La Trappe name, with product families that include Blond, Dubbel, Tripel and Quadrupel, as well as additional specialty and seasonal offerings. Over time, La Trappe developed a market beyond its Dutch origins. Brewing and commercial cooperation with Swinkels Family Brewers has supported the brewery’s operations, while the brand retains its association with the abbey. The official La Trappe Trappist website serves international visitors through regional versions. The brand remains active.
