Brouwerij Corsendonk

Corsendonk carries the name of an old Augustinian priory, where monks once brewed beer for both prayer and everyday life. Today's brewery recreates that same depth and calm - without belonging to a monastery itself.

  • Bottle of Corsendonk Tempelier Strong Blond Ale, 75 cl
    Item no.: 22227865427-8402

    The Knights Templar symbol adorns the label, and the name draws a line back to the medieval history of Corsendonk Priory - but it is the powerful, golden beer in the bottle that carries the legacy forward today.

    Expert description of Corsendonk Tempelier Strong Blond Ale

    Tempelier Strong Blond is a golden Belgian ale at 8% alcohol, brewed with respect for tradition and a fine balance between sweetness, fruity notes and a lightly spiced finish. The Corsendonk brand originates from Corsendonk Priory in Oud-Turnhout, and the beer carries the name of the Knights Templar's historical presence in the region.

    The head is full and creamy, and the high alcohol content makes it ideal for slow enjoyment. The bottle is finished with an elegant cork and an attractive label featuring a Templar motif, underlining the beer's status as one of the more prestigious in the Belgian abbey ale segment.

About Corsendonk

Brouwerij Corsendonk is a Belgian brewery whose name and recipes draw on the tradition of the Corsendonk priory, an Augustinian monastery with roots stretching back to the Middle Ages. The beers are brewed using classic Belgian abbey methods with top-fermenting yeast and a strong secondary fermentation in the bottle, giving them the full-bodied, spiced character the style is known for. Because the brewery isn't itself attached to a working monastery, but deliberately builds on the heritage of one, Corsendonk occupies an interesting middle ground between genuine Trappist beers and the many commercial abbey beers on the market.

History & Background

The Corsendonk priory was founded in the Middle Ages as an Augustinian monastery, where the monks, as in many other places in Belgium, brewed beer as part of monastic life. When the monastic beer tradition was later revived in commercial form, the founders behind the modern Brouwerij Corsendonk chose to draw both name and inspiration from this history, even though the brewery has never itself been part of an active monastery. The result is a range of beers that deliberately references Belgium's rich abbey-brewing heritage while being produced using modern brewing methods.

Production & Style

The beers are brewed using classic Belgian methods with top-fermenting yeast, often in abbey style with strong bottle conditioning.

Signature Style
