Chimay Grande Réserve, commonly known as Chimay Blue, is one of the most famous Trappist beers in the world. Brewed by the monks of Scourmont Abbey, this powerful Belgian strong dark ale is known for its depth, complexity and exceptional ageing potential.
Dark and full-bodied, it delivers layers of rich malt, dark fruit and subtle spice. Smooth yet intense, it develops additional complexity over time, making it highly prized among collectors and beer enthusiasts.

The History of islington Wines
Islington Wine — A Neighbourhood Wine Venture with Heart
Born from the passion of two wine enthusiasts, Islington Wine is more than just a bottle shop. It is the result of five years of dreaming, planning, and sourcing with purpose. Our founders left their careers to create something that would bring people together, support sustainability, and celebrate the beauty of honest winemaking.
Every detail of Islington Wine reflects that vision. The space is thoughtfully designed with an organic, natural aesthetic and shelves filled with handpicked bottles from producers who care for their land as much as their craft. We call it wine design, a blend of taste, community, and creativity that turns every visit into an experience.
At Islington Wine, you will find not only distinctive wines but also a welcoming space built on connection, sustainability, and local spirit.
