I agree about La Fin Du Monde, it is one of my favorites too. I could go on and on about all the Belgian beers I have tried and liked. They really are a primary preference of mine.

I cannot let one go by without sampling. Perhaps, my favorite Belgian ale/Belgian-inspired Ale is Unibroue's La Fin Du Monde. My most recent pleasant surprise was Victory's Golden Monkey. While not highly rated, I liked its muted (subtle?) flavor profile. It struck me as a "session belgian triple" if it wasn't for the 9% ABV. Of course as Steve mentions, Allagash Triple is another favorite of mine. The beer that got me started on Belgian ales was Stoudt’s Triple. I cannot let one go by without sampling.

But heck yes, I'd love to go to Belgium, too! Afraid though, that if I do, I may never come back!

The last few years we have vacationed in the Dominican Republic and have befriended a couple from Brussels. The more that they talk about the beer they drink the more I long for a visit. Something to add to my "bucket list" for sure... Wow, I would love to go to Belgium… never been.

I think I didn't really know what beer could be until my first sip of a Belgian beer. I take that back I KNOW I didn't know. It was a Delirium Tremens to be exact. After that it was all over for me. Destined to become a beer geek. I've sorta gotten away from them as the American Craft Beer scene has exploded. But your piece here has got me thinking I need to go back to Belgium. Saisons, here I come! Thanks for all the great info here, Steve. So many Belgians, so little time! I think I didn’t really know what beer could be until my first sip of a Belgian beer.
