1177 : Trappistes Rochefort 10 (Trappist)

Although most of us equate the village of Rochefort, Belgium with the wonderful beers made by the nearby Trappist monks, back in the olden days the village was more known for its caverns and hot springs. This is an image from a tourist guide book published in 1905 by the Belgian State Railway Service. The book was designed to entice the Englishman to hop the English Channel and pay a visit to Belgium. No where in the book is there much of a mention about Belgian beers - pity.
