She was Anne-Fran\u00e7oise Pypaert, quality control manager since 1995 and second in command after Jean-Marie.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Anne-Fran\u00e7oise was the only woman working at Orval when she was first hired in late 1992.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, when the original interview was published, there were eight women in all, one in the laboratory, one in research and development, four in the administrative office, one at the cheese factory and one as brewmaster. Eight out of a total of 37 workers.<\/p>\n<h2>Passionate About Beer<\/h2>\n<p>Asked whether she had ever considered brewing as a career when she began studying biochemistry in the late 1980s, Anne-Fran\u00e7oise replies that she did not think it was possible, since brewing was a very male-dominated world at the time.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>However, after a few years, while I was still studying for my degree, I started to think it might be possible to find a job at a brewery, because things were changing back then. So I focused on applying to breweries, and I was hired here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She has never worked anywhere else since graduating from university, which is quite remarkable these days.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, perhaps not so remarkable, considering that Trappist breweries are known as good places to work, with generous pay and benefits. The Trappist monks look after their employees.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, Anne-Fran\u00e7oise only tasted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebeertimes.com\/en\/orval-belgian-pale-ale-tasting-notes-and-recommended-pairings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Orval beer<\/a> for the first time a couple of days before her first interview at the brewery, something she recalls with a smile.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I liked it right from the start, because I have always been a beer lover. I tell everyone that women enjoy Orval and other bitter beers too. I like to fight the perception that women only like sweet beers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Training and Responsibilities at Orval<\/h2>\n<p>Anne-Fran\u00e7oise studied at the Institut Meurice in Brussels, which is now part of the Haute \u00c9cole Lucia de Brouck\u00e8re.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10397\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10397\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10397 size-full\" title=\"l' Abbaye Notre Dame d\u2019 Orval - \u00a9 DrinkBelgianBeer.com\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebeertimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Abbaye_Notre_Dame_d_Orval.jpg\" alt=\"Abbaye Notre-Dame d'Orval\" width=\"500\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebeertimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Abbaye_Notre_Dame_d_Orval.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.thebeertimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Abbaye_Notre_Dame_d_Orval-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10397\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">l&#8217; Abbaye Notre Dame d\u2019 Orval &#8211; \u00a9 DrinkBelgianBeer.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, it was more than twenty years of on-the-job training with Jean-Marie Rock that shaped her brewing talents.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Obviously I&#8217;m not Jean-Marie.

I am very happy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As if all that were not impressive enough, Anne-Fran\u00e7oise was also production manager of Orval&#8217;s cheese factory.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Orval made three cheeses, all based on the Port Salut style, a young one, an aged one and one washed with Orval beer.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the cheeses were only sold in Belgium, France and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<h2>Orval Under Her Leadership<\/h2>\n<p>Ten years after taking over, Anne-Fran\u00e7oise was still in charge of brewing. In November 2023, Hop Culture introduced her as Orval&#8217;s brewmaster, a position she had held for more than a decade (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopculture.com\/orval-brewmaster-anne-francoise-pypaert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Hop Culture<\/a>, 2023).<\/p>\n<p>During that period the brewery changed scale. It grew from 32,000 hectoliters in 2000 to around 80,000, and opened a new fermentation hall and a bottling line that fills 40,000 bottles per hour, a project that took five years to complete.<\/p>\n<p>Today the abbey itself puts its output at 25 million bottles a year, more than 88% of them destined for the Belgian market (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.orval.be\/fr\/page\/447-brasserie-d-orval\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Brasserie d&#8217;Orval<\/a>, 2026).<\/p>\n<p>The Orval recipe has barely changed in nine decades. One of the few adjustments made under her leadership was extending fermentation from five to six days.<\/p>\n<p>Orval Vert, the 4.5% beer brewed for the monks and served only at the abbey, was also revised when Orval&#8217;s restaurant was rebuilt, with new dry hopping using Strisselspalt and Mosaic.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone trying the beer she oversees for the first time, her advice is straightforward.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Your first Orval is very difficult. You have to taste the second or third.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In 2016 her name crossed the Atlantic with Ann-Fran\u00e7oise, a 9.5% Belgian strong dark ale brewed with spruce tips, grains of paradise and Strisselspalt hops, made by New Belgium in collaboration with Orval (<a href=\"https:\/\/beerstreetjournal.com\/new-belgium-ann-francoise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Beer Street Journal<\/a>, 2016).<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Who is Anne-Fran\u00e7oise Pypaert?<\/h3>\n<p>She is a Belgian biochemist who in October 2013 became the first woman to lead a Trappist brewery as brewmaster, at Brasserie d&#8217;Orval. She joined Orval in late 1992, when she was the only woman on the staff, and served as quality control manager from 1995 until she succeeded Jean-Marie Rock.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Is she still Orval&#8217;s brewmaster?<\/h3>\n<p>The most recent source that identifies her in the role is a Hop Culture feature from November 2023, which introduced her as Orval&#8217;s brewmaster for more than a decade. The abbey&#8217;s official website does not publish the names of its current brewmasters.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Do the monks of Orval brew the beer?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Brasserie d&#8217;Orval was founded in 1931 to fund the rebuilding of the abbey and hired lay workers from the outset, starting with its first brewmaster, the Bavarian Martin Pappenheimer. The monastic community guides the brewery&#8217;s activity and devotes its income to social causes and to the upkeep of the buildings, which are conditions of the Authentic Trappist Product label.<\/p>\n<h3>4. What is Orval Vert?<\/h3>\n<p>It is a 4.5% ABV version that the brewery makes for the monks, compared with the 6.2% of the Orval sold around the world. It is served on draft only at the abbey itself and is bottled for those who come to Orval on retreat.<\/p>\n<h3>5. How much beer does Orval produce?<\/h3>\n<p>According to the abbey itself, 25 million bottles a year in 2026, more than 88% of which are sold in Belgium. In 2000 it produced 32,000 hectoliters, a figure Hop Culture put at around 80,000 in 2023.<br \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"1.
