What's it like to live in the best beer producing country in the world? Every time you go to the store do you have a chuckle at the silly American and British attempts at brewing?Originally Posted by Kent Wang

A particularly good value for those in the US are ales from Ommegang, a Belgian-style brewery in Cooperstown NY. They're about 20% cheaper than the standard Trappists.Originally Posted by Kent Wang

I was snooping around some online beer retailers, and some carry Chimays from the mid 90's. I know I'm not disciplined enough to have beer sitting around for 10+ years without feeling the need to sneak a sip once in a while.Originally Posted by lee_44106

Strange, from what I know, beer isn't stored, not overhere altough.Originally Posted by dave023

Favorites are: Fantome Saison, McChouffe, de Ranke XX Bitter, Fantome Brise Bonbons (what a name). The de Ranke is really the best in my opinion, especially when you get to have it on tap. Outstanding.Originally Posted by pscolari
I was in Brussels a few weeks ago and picked up a few bottles of Chimay Grande Reserve 2001. Had one last week... amazing. I'd never seen it in the States before.Originally Posted by Spencer Young
. BTW, I have consistently found Belgian beer to taste much better... well, in Belgium (or in Holland). I asked a beer store owner from whom I was buying the Chimay, and he said that the FDA requires beer exporters to kill the organic fermenting agents that give much of the taste to the beer. Don't know how true that is, but it made sense to me. BTW, I really don't like the Rochefort 10, I thought it was too bitter. My absolute fave is Westmalle Dubbel, but I also like Chimay Blue, Chimay Cinqe Cents, and Affligem. For simpler stuff, I like Leffe Bruin and Hoegaarden. I am not a big fan of Duvel. And I know it's a sin, but I think Corsendonk is good. On a side note - Chimay cheeses are awesome!
Yep, I picked one up when I was in Antwerp in '03. I still use the bottle as a candle holderOriginally Posted by faust

I don't think the whole killing the yeast is true (as homebrewers here in the USA are known to cull yeast from various Belgian beers for their own purposes) but IMHO the taste difference may have to do with the way the beer is stored and transported... On the cheese, thankfully igourmet.com stocks a few Chimay cheeses. Naturally I love the beer-washed Chimay TrappisteOriginally Posted by skalogre
