Delirium Tremens
The infamous pink elephant beer. Three different yeast strains create a complex, warming, fruity Belgian that belies its strength. Winner of "Best Beer in the World" in 2008 at the World Beer Championships. A bucket-list Belgian.
Duvel
The "devil" — so named because a worker declared "That's a devil of a beer!" after the first tasting. Triple-fermented with Saaz and Styrian Golding hops. Elegant, dry, fruity, and dangerously easy to drink for 8.5%.
Grande Réserve (Blue)
The most complex of Chimay's Trappist lineup — dark fruit, chocolate, caramel, and spice from an ancient abbey yeast. First brewed in 1948, it's one of the most important beers in history. Aged in the cellar it becomes profoundly port-like.
Orval
The most unique Trappist beer — dry-hopped with Hallertau and refermented with Brettanomyces. Young, it's citrusy and resinous; aged 6–12 months, it becomes funky, leathery, and complex. One of the world's most fascinating beers.
Tripel
The original tripel — Westmalle invented the style in 1956. Pale gold, complex, and surprisingly dry for its gravity. Fruity esters, spicy phenols, and a noble hop bitterness. The standard by which all other tripels are judged.
Abt 12
Many consider Abt 12 a match for Westvleteren 12 — and it's made with the same historic yeast. Rich dark fruit, chocolate, caramel, and fig with a profound complexity. St. Bernardus once brewed under licence for Westvleteren, and it shows.
Quadrupel
From the only Trappist brewery outside Belgium, this Quad is a dark, warming masterpiece. Prune, chocolate, toffee, and subtle oak — the Netherlands' most decorated beer and proof that Dutch monks can match Belgian Trappists.
Deus Brut des Flandres
Brewed in Belgium then shipped to Champagne for secondary fermentation using méthode champenoise. The result is an extraordinary beer-wine hybrid — fine bubbles, brioche, apple, and citrus in a Champagne flute. The most elegant Belgian ever made.
Pauwel Kwak
Famous for its distinctive coach-glass served in a wooden cradle — a vessel designed so coachmen could hang it from their coach without spilling. Malty, caramel-sweet, and fruity with a warming Belgian character. The most Instagrammable beer glass in the world.
Tripel
From Belgium's oldest abbey brewery (est. 1074), the Affligem Tripel is a pale golden beauty — fruity, spicy, and deceptively strong. Honey, orange peel, and coriander-like spice from the heritage yeast. A magnificent tripel with 900+ years of brewing history behind it.
