Rochefort Brewery (Brasserie de Rochefort) is a Belgian brewery which produces three beers designated as Trappist beers. The brewery is associated with the Rochefort Abbey, which originated in the thirteenth century; monks have been brewing beer at Rochefort since the sixteenth century, providing much of the income for the monastery.

Around fifteen monks live at Rochefort Abbey, where the first brewery was founded in 1595.[1] The water for the beer is drawn from a well inside the monastery walls.

Rochefort uses Pilsener and Munich-type malts, and Hallertau and Golding hops.[1]
