Not really. Have you tried Schlitz? ABout $12/case and does the same thing - gives you nightmares of RevStriker.

Belgium Tripel from the grocery store is about 7.95 a bottle ~8%? alcohol and tastes GREAT.

Hoegaarden is good too if you want something with less kick...

Brugge Tripel. Best consumed at the source. Occasionally available at Martin's Wine Cellar in New Orleans.



Corsendonk will do and is usually available at better outlets.

Kasteel is a very nice triple. I love Belgians. Leffe Tripel is very good as well. And for a lighter beer on a warm day, Leffe Blonde goes down real easy.

So many good Belgian beers out there. I have tried so many since I last posted here about Palm. Palm is fine but I now find it quite average as far as Belgian beer goes. I think my favorite Belgian Brewery is St. Bernardus. They make a very fine tripel and the Abt 12 is off the charts as far as quads go. I like Achel blonde with spicy foods like buffalo wings etc. And if you have a chance, try beers from Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown, NY. They make several styles of Belgian beer. One of my favorites is Rare Vos, very easy to drink when you are not in the mood for a dubbed, triple or quad.

I enjoy Ommegang Brewery as well. I particularly like Hennipen and their Abby Ale. Looking forward to giving Rare Vos a try.

Damn! this thread makes me want to convince the wife to go back to Belgium just for the Beer and Moules and Frites in the street side cafes.

This thread is REALLY old, but just saw it. I'm into Belgian beers and my alltime favorite is Golden Draak.

Golden Draak also has a Quad (in a dark labeled bottle) which is a little higher alcohol content.

Brace yourself for these.

I buy at my local Total Wine:
Gulden Draak | Total Wine & More

If you have a Yardhouse Restaurant in your area, they have it at mine, on tap.

Visited my local Total Wine just now, stocked up on a few favorite Belgians. I snapped a couple of pics of some of the choices. The last pic, the variety pack, is one that I very much enjoy:

And, BTW, if looking for a reasonable facsimile Belgian, this trippel is pretty good and has become a favorite. New Belgium is a Colorado brewer:

Had some guests over last WE and we made some beer bread using the New Belgium Trippel. Came out very good!

Last time we made it I sacrificed a Gulden Draak. It was very good, of course, but from now on...won't spend the GD. The NBT works just as good.

Local NM restaurant had Kegs of St. Bernadus Abt 12 on Tap. I ate (drank) there nearly every night. Tastes much better than out of the bottle. Owner closed up shop to take over local NASA cafeteria contract. I had withdrawals until took delivery of my AMG Wagon a few years later...lol

Just returned from 2 weeks holiday in Dublin and London. While in Dublin (drank beer EVERY day!) we visited the Guinness factory and did that tour, then we spent way too many days in the famous Temple Bar area:



In the "older" Guinness factory bar, not the new Gravity Bar.
