Partly verified

At least one of those three claims rests on a secondary source or an inference, a disagreement between sources is still open, or a split supply has a format that has not been read.

Origin, abv and Trappist status verified from the brewer. UK label country of origin field and UK abv not checked.

The small print on the base of a current can or bottle, giving the producer name and address, would settle this.

In short

Chimay Blue is the real thing on origin: the beer in UK shops is brewed at Scourmont Abbey, Chimay in Belgium. The brand belongs to Bieres de Chimay, monks of Scourmont Abbey.
