La Trappe Nillis is a historic breakthrough: the world's first fully alcohol-free Trappist beer, brewed by Bierbrouwerij de Koningshoeven in 2020. This dark brown ale shatters a long-standing taboo within Trappist brewing tradition, proving that alcohol-free need not compromise on depth and character.

Nillis delivers a full, rounded taste with pleasant sweetness on the first sip and a refined bitterness in the finish. The beer combines a malty foundation with subtle notes of vanilla, caramel and roasted cocoa, supported by fruity ester tones. Despite the absence of alcohol, it retains its distinctive Trappist warmth and complexity.

Brewed with natural ingredients only—hop, barley, yeast and water from the monastery's own spring—Nillis follows the traditional bottle fermentation method with yeast and sugar.
