Orval Brewery is a Belgian Trappist brewery located in the Guame region of Belgium. Its flagship beer, Orval, is known for going through a secondary fermentation in the bottle with a single strain of Brettanomyces bruxellensis.[1][2] Beer historian Ron Pattinson has claimed that there is evidence to suggest that Orval is a close relative and perhaps even reflective of historical English pale ale.[3]
