Belgian beers are top tier, and this is one of them.
Try Orval, too, it looks great in those small, plum bottles.

Thanks user, will try

Try some stuff from Unibroue

That genuinely is one of the nicest beers ever.
My personal favourite is pic related.

Triple Karmeliet and Chimay white label are my favorite belgians at the moment

Beer looks delicious, too bad it all tastes the same.

I used to think that when I first started and hated beers. But cousin got me a variety pack and after noticing differences, some of which I actually liked, I decided to explore and found my preferred styles. Maybe you need a variety pack so you can explore, assuming you want to.

>Triple Karmeliet
my niggonton

I bet you only drink piss lager.
Drink a lager, then drink a stout, then drink an IPA, then drink a porter, then drink a fruit beer, then drink a bitter... THEN tell me with a straight face that it all tastes the same.

You can get banana bread beer, you can get Fruli strawberry lager, you can get chocolate stout... there's no fucking way ANY of those are going to taste remotely alike.

Best beer

Belgian beers are some of the best.

I picked this one up on a whim not too long ago. Scotch silly is basically a scotch ale made with belgian ale yeasts. It got a lot of points for being very unique.

Also one of my all-time favorites. Some pals and I did a blind tasting of this, Westvleteren 12, Abt 12, Chimay Blue and Trois Pistoles. From best to worst, the consensus was:

Rochefort
Westvleteren
Abt 12
Trois Pistoles
Chimay

Rochefort > Hype

The stout and the porter will

Allagash as a better equivalent to all of those. Just because you've only drank bad skunked IPAs, and middle of the road AT BEST "imports" doesn't Mar yoy an expert.

Visit nh/vt/ME/MA if you want to know what actually good beer tastes like

>le hide behind subjectivity

I mean it is all good to prefer poop, but in one case you pay for best in the class quality and in the other for the hypster feels

All IPAs are basically the same. The same bitter shit with no complexity at all.

Do you think the same about wine?

Not really. Most Belgian beer is severely overhyped just like the big name ipas and stouts of the states. I can honestly say the best triples and quads I've had have been from North America, and I've visited Belgium.

And all Belgian ales the same. Recipes developed 100 years ago before yeast was discovered to exist, and all use the same shitty hops.

Pretty much the same as you. It's great

Not at all.
IPAs are shit though.

exception and rule, pretty much all belgians I tasted were great or at least a good effort, while 90% of craft beers were bad to shit. If you managed to find very good crafts good for you I guess

Trappist dubbels and trippels are dope but just a aword of caution don't drink them too often. Keep it as a special treat because you start disliking them if you drink to much. Which is a shame since they're the best beer in the world. Stick to good European lagers and pilsners as staples, American crafts as monotony breakers and trappist stuff as indulgence.

wat you guys think of this

American piss water.
Might as well be a macro.

This is nectar.

I mean it's fine if you don't like it, but you should learn what buzzwords like "piss water" actually mean before mindlessly using them

Hello newfag.
piss water refers to any beer produced in the USA.

I wish Sierra Nevada would go back to making more wheats and less IPA's. We get it, guys, you put 5 gorillion pounds of hops in your beer and now it takes like a bar of soap.

how much does this cost for you burgers btw? in NL you can pick it up for 2 euros or so.

>bar of soap
kek, accurate
at least it gets you drunk quick

>gets you drunk quick

I remember this place serving delirium red on tap. I made sure to host my first dates there. The hard part was convincing the girls there are beers that actually taste good. After like 2 glasses it was smooth sailing. Fun times.

Speaking of Belgium...

Rochfort is pretty fucking tasty. If your looking for something a tad different but in the same vein try Westmalle or Chimay. Westmalle being the closest

it's real expensive, but now we make better beers here so it doesn't hurt like it did 15 years ago

Finally got to try Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. Smart & Final had a 12 pack of mixed Guinness with three of them in it. The hype is real.

Yes that is the worst beer in all of belgium

>drinking the intoxicating jew

degenerate

That's literally what I miss the most from the time I lived in the Netherlands.

Ok, I also miss Martin Zwerts and cheese.

Jesus hell I want that.

>moldy
you mean yeasty?

Not the same person, but it makes no sense to compare the taste of yeast to the one of mold.

>blocks your path

i nearly bought some of this last night at the bottle shop. trappist ales are some of the GOAT, full stop. even my pleb parents like a nice dubbel.

this is superior imo, solely because it tastes different from sierra nevada's other pale ales. they have a very distinct, branded hop taste that sort of irks me. i wish they would do something more interesting, they have the means. nobody gives a shit about that west coast style of cramming as many hops as you can into a bottle anymore.

I had this recently and loved it. I also just grabbed a Sweetwater variety pack that has an identical tasting tropical IPA. I love it though, so no complaints here.

Its a good beer. Punchy with good flavor balance. Gets me buzzin in one serving. I would not drink more than one in a session. As for my favorite beer rn it's Left Hand's Milk Stout. I had it best served from tap.

Whats the difference between 6, 8 and 10? I cant tell. Since they are like 6-10$ a pop I usually only have one of the 3 every once in a while and havent been able to really compare em

I had 8 a while back. It's good but the import prices felt like a gouge, it was about 8 bucks IIRC.

Of course I have no problem getting a 15-20 dollar bomber but those are usually very unique BA or sour/wild styled.

I'm partial to the Flanders Red, Saison, or Lambic style out of Belgium.

stop drinking german beer

What are you talking about? Good Belgian beer costs a bit more than most equal or better tiered craft beer in America, but Americans who drink good beer still drink a ton of it, if anything, craft beer Americans overrate Belgian beer

I went to a bar the other day that had their 2016 reserve version of that and it was great, so much better than the base beer

I'm a total beer noob and mostly drink pabst but I try to grab different single bottles all the time and OP's bottle of beer was probably the best I ever had. Tied with pic related.

*blocks your path*

If you can't tell from drinking them separately, try drinking 6 to 10 after each other.

That's interesting because Belgian imports are way cheaper here (Australia) than American imports. Hell, they're often better value than home grown Australian craft beers.

I found this at the local international food/expensive furnishings store.
I did not know it came in cans.

Their hoppy lager is my favorite beer from them

I prefer the cuvee Rene, best shelfie Belgian ever

A couple of years ago I had a Chimay Bleue, aged 4 years, was the best goddamn beer I ever had. It was almost like syruppy at this point.

>Bleue
tard.

woah

i'd like to age a strong dark beer and buy new ones annually then try them all in the same night
i just don't have the patience

>trap

Rate my beer for the night. I still have 4 left on my six pack. This one is aged 1.5 years from my visit to sint-sixtus.

First one I had 6 months after buying and it wasn't as complex as the one for today.
I'm eager to try the next ones. Maybe I'll wait a year or two.

Had a flight from pic related today. I'd had a few of their brews but only their anniversary pils stood out. Overall, great pilsners and lagers, and a peach hefeweizen that was fabulous. I tried the barleywine though and hooo boy does that shit need to be aged. Super boozy. Black IPA was decent.

Have one in my hand right now. Absurdly average IPA. It's cheap at least
the brewery website says my local store has it but they have nothing by New Holland and I'm disappoint

I have OCD. I had cold beer. But my power was out for a day so it became warm. Then I put it in the fridge again. is it still ok to drink, even though it was cold for a day

...

Sounds more like autism brah

seriously. Does the beer retain its alcoholcontent and taste if its been warm for a day then chilled agian

No it's bad I'd throw it out

you'll probably poison yourself if you drink it, it's rancid at this point

huh? do you have a mental disability?

Absolutely agree.

>love most types of beers
>love any cocktail like an old fashioned
Don't ever waste your money on this. It was a rancid mistake. I should of poured it down the drain, but forced myself to drink most of it for my money's worth.

t.Muhammad

I had the Christmas Ale and found it too carbonated. Is the 12 abt less carbonated?
Chimay Blue Label is the shit that got me into beer
Except some small breweries can make shit as good as belgian abbey ales, look at Unibroue's Trois Pistoles
>piss water refers to any beer produced in the USA.
Somebody sounds mad
Beau's here in Ontario makes a killer milk stout even if comes similar in taste to the smell of cum

newsflash, there are other countries out there, shocking I know. I'm frequently presented with murrikan crafts though and fwiw they are every bit as bad as our home selection.

I know burgers have a superiority complex, but if they actually believe their own bs itt and not just pretending, they have absolutely know taste.

Fucking great.

Nearly all beer from every country is overrated.

t. burger

Wierdly, I like Rochefort 8 more.

Abt 12 is Westvleteren XII-tier without being unobtanium. Great beer.

Tripel Karmeliet is the ideal breakfast beer. Chimay is a bit pleb-tier, but still delicious.

Currently drinking this and some Kasteel Rouge.

10/10 taste for both of you.

all of you are plebeians, this is the most superior beer, i'm proud to live in the area it's made

Chimay > Westmalle tho.

They're all brewed using the same basic recipe, but some have more alcohol than the others (10>8>6). The numbers refer to degrees Balling, which is an old Belgian standard used to measure alcohol content.
>6-10$
Shame. Here in the Netherlands, they're about 2.50 EUR for a 10, and under 2 EUR for an 8.

>try drinking 6 to 10 after each other.
I recommend writing your findings down after that. 10 kicks like a horse.

I just checked my local liquor wholesaler, just across the border in Germany
>mfw 20L keg of La Chouffe: 77 EUR
>mfw 30L keg of Tripel Karmeliet: 130 EUR
>mfw 20L keg of Leffe Dubbel: 73 EUR

imma get me a carton of karmeliet for christmas this year i think

I believe not even the biggest craft beer snob in the would know the difference. Fluctuation of temperature being bad is real. But only from a long term perspective.

>national distribution volume
>dry hop BLEND
>malt BLEND

nah

you could have posted pseduo sue and it still wouldnt have been as pleb as that

>Most superior beer
>Not Zombie Dust
>Calling other plebs

The irony.

Pseudo sue is better and cheaper and easier to get

My nigga. My favorite so far is pic related.
For some things it's great to be Belgian.
