Credit where it’s due
Not something I would ever buy but was gifted a 4 pack of it. Its easily the best tasting beer I’ve ever had. Apparently there’s only one place in the USA with monks that brew this type of beer here. Delicious.  Attached File |

Chimay is so far the best beer I've enjoyed. I'll give that one a try.

Sounds good OP....
I have been drinking beer for a long time and remember my first encounter with Yuengling....hotel in Allentown, PA, just flew in for business and went straight to the bar and ordered a Yuengling on tap....oh my goodness, I was hooked. So Yuengling is now my favorite, actually prefer Yuengling Light |

Orval is my favorite Trappist beer, hefeweizen and NEIPA are my favorite year-round styles, malty is good in the fall/winter, and stouts are great for sitting by the fire.
The best beer is the cold one in your hand

I like La Trappe Dubbel from the Netherlands better than any of the Belgian Trappist Ales.
For those that don't know, it's not really a Trappist beer if it doesn't say Trappist on the bottle. There are beers labeled Abby beers that are brewed in the style Trappist ales. Some of them are good but they aren't really brewed in an Abby by monks. |

Well, he doesnt dress like one at least... Maybe he is a Monk, but he doesnt wear the traditional brown dress

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you thought Chimay was good, give St. Bernardus 12 or Rochefort 10 a try. Both are better Belgian quads than Chimay. This man speaks the truth. Also Palm, Piraat, Leffe blonde. The monks of the many Catholic monasteries preserved both the brewing arts and the bible through the dark ages. |
