I know I've read accounts of certain bars in Belgium (probably very special ones even by Belgian standards, however) to have aged versions of the "good" beers such as Chimay Blue, Rochefort 10, Westy 12, etc. I can probably dig up names of places if you're interested.Strange, from what I know, beer isn't stored, not overhere altough.
Trader Joe's Vintage Ale is made by Unibroue of Quebec... so you can at least sample other things from the same brewery if you don't have a local TJs (or if they don't sell booze like mine).On a more accessible note, every autumn Trader Joe's has a 'vintage ale' - large bottle, Belgian style, etc. It's quite delicious for the price and availability.
This is most definitely true, from personal experience.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)
I haven't yet with Rodenbach... but one made with Duchesse du Bourgogne is awesome. More sugars to caramelize I think. Also, Rodenbach makes several beers... as far as I know the "Alexander" hasn't been made in several years, but in the US you can get 3 kinds: the standard "Rodenbach", which is a blend of young and old soured flemish red, the "Grand Cru", which is only the aged version, and "Redbach", which is something mixed with sweet cherry juice, which to my taste is very alcopopy. I much prefer a Liefman's Kriek for something sweet and cherry-tasting. (Though I appreciate a Cantillon or other real Kriek, it's not quite "sweet" tasting.)Skalogre- You can still find Rodenbach in shops. BTW, did you know we make some tasty " carbonades flamandes" with it?
The Rochefort 6 (stored properly) is likely my favorite beer available in North America. And I've had almost every Belgian available here, in any state (I do not, however claim this is the *best* beer available here... you're quite welcome to your own opinion on that matter... as long as it's a real beerIf the [Rochefort] 10 was too bitter, try the 6.
Bump. So, going to Antwerp in two weeks - envy me!!! What should I buy?
where can a person who doesn't have access to the Abbey of St. Ixtus score some Westvleteren? online site? phone number? in california?
Not exactly Belgian but supposedly it comes from some mountain top:
Not aure about that. Was it a Belgian or a US made beer? Dupont's Saison I found very underwhelming. Their Foret was much better.
That's why I said "all-around". I describe it as the Budweiser of Belgium
Nooo, that onerous distinction should go to Stella Artois (yes Whodini
