CHIMAY City Trip and Beer Tasting
Our Beyond the Tolls adventure begins in Wallonia, the south of Belgium — in the small town of Chimay, famous around the world for its Trappist beer, cheese and centuries of history.
But there’s much more to Chimay than beer! 🍺🧀🏰
In this first episode, Andrea & Wim explore Chimay, discover its history and château, and head to the Chimay Experience to learn more about the monks and the story behind one of Belgium’s most famous Trappist names.
And of course… we couldn't come to Chimay without tasting the beer! 😄
00:00 - Introduction to Beyond the Tolls
00:53 - Exploring the History of Chimay
02:22 - The Château de Chimay & Its Princely History
03:29 - Local Flavors: Tasting Regional Cake
04:22 - Visiting the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul
06:27 - Modern Day Chimay & Trappist Traditions
07:33 - Walking the Scourmont Abbey Gardens
08:45 - The Chimay Experience Hall
09:18 - What Makes a Beer "Trappist"?
10:41 - Chimay Beer & Cheese Tasting
14:19 - Trip Summary & Next Stop: France
This is only the beginning.
Beyond the Tolls is our road trip in search of the places you can miss when you simply take the motorway — travelling from Belgium into France, avoiding the toll roads and discovering the towns, landscapes, food, people and stories along the way.
And as this journey unfolds, it becomes much more personal than we ever expected.
