Taste of Belgium - Rookwood

Join us for a special Val-Dieu brewery event featuring Pierre Mottet, Export Manager at Val-Dieu, and a man who’s seen the light—after years of selling Stella, he now represents real Belgian abbey beer! Why You Should Be Here: ✅ Meet Pierre Mottet – Hear firsthand how he went from selling corporate beer to spreading the gospel of true Belgian brewing. ✅ Try Val-Dieu Cuvée 800 – A special beer, directly imported, thanks to JF’s passion for bringing the best of Belgium to you! ✅ Score a FREE Val-Dieu glass – Because beer tastes better in the right glass. ✅ Drink a beer with a soul – Unlike the stuff Pierre used to sell (ask him about it—he’s got stories!). A Beer with a Story (and a Personal Connection!) Val-Dieu Cuvée 800 was brewed to celebrate the 800th anniversary of Val-Dieu Abbey, a historic Cistercian monastery founded in 1216. The name Val-Dieu means "Valley of God", and its beers honor the centuries-old monastic brewing traditions. This incredible beer wouldn’t even be in the U.S. if it weren’t for our founder, Jean-François! JF pushed Val-Dieu to bring it over because it’s one of his absolute favorites. And for good reason—he grew up walking distance from the abbey! Come raise a glass to heritage, craftsmanship, and Pierre’s excellent life choices!
