Orval Day 2024

  • HiWay Pizza Pub 1301 West College Avenue State College, PA, 16801 United States (map)

On Orval Day, devotees of Orval Trappist Ale – and some folks who maybe have not tried it yet – convene to celebrate one of the world’s unique and highly-respected beers.

Join us here at HiWay in celebration of this damn tasty and historical brew!!! For #OrvalDay2024 we'll awaken some vintage selections from our stash that have been asleep in our climate controlled beer cellar. We'll offer these up (as long as they last) along with this year's current vintage.

We'll also have a few giveaways to be had while supplies last. Mark your calendar and be sure to stop in for a bottle or two!

About Orval:
The Orval legend began almost 1,000 years ago, when a princess accidentally dropped her ring into a spring and a trout returned it. It continues now, with a day to reflect on and enjoy this amazing Trappist ale.

Orval Trappist Ale was the first Brett beer to land on US shores, and has become the favorite beer for many star American brewers. ( “Brett” – brettanomyces – is a yeast variety that adds appetizing, sharp acidity and dryness.) Orval is brewed to exquisite perfection within the walls of Notre Dame d’Orval Monastery in Belgium. It’s delicious when it leaves the brewery, but also evolves in the bottle for five years or more.
