I was trippin' when I realized it was a Canadian beer.

Yeah, I almost mentioned that in my post. Don't know many from up there. I think they do another version, but I've been out of the loop for awhile.

I met the hottest chick in the Brussels train station.

Didn't bang her. 

If you said you did I'd know at least one part of your story was a lie.

There's a dude at that pizza place I always mention here that puts pepperoncinis in his beer.

It's funny how available it is, but I really like this as a Belgian. I use both hands and would grab this and a Tremens.

If you like La Fin Du Monde then you would really like Trois Pistoles, both really good Belgians by Unibroue.  If I’m not mistaken Trader Joe’s sells a Belgian and I think it is made by Unibroue.

Yeah, that's a good Belgian

Have you tried Gulden Draak?

Yeah, another good one.

I've had damn near every Belgian you can come up with. I moved onto strong ales that have Belgian tones or aren't heavy but start around 9%+

Again, I'm not a big beer guy these days. But I do love going to Board and Brews in Tustin and getting Pranqster which is essentially a Belgian/Strong hybrid that is 7.6% or so but is smooth.

I’ll have to try it.

Pranqster is a regular purchase for me. Have you tried Brother Thelonious? I think I actually like that one better. North Coast has a solid selection.

Yeah, one of my favorite darker strong ales. That shit packs some punch. It's been awhile, but there is a hole in the wall mom and pop pizza joint in Tustin that has a liquor store next door. While waiting for the pizza to be made I went over and they had this in there....I grabbed it for nostalgia purposes. James got me into this one 10-15 years ago.

Good beer.

Board and Brews seems to have a good rotation, but they always have their own pale ale (I think it's theirs) as #1 and Pranqster as #2. Those are always consistent. Then they kind of filter in the same styles but different beers when ordering new kegs....#3 will always be a Mexican lager, #4 will always be an IPA, etc. Their last tap is always nitro and one of the last times in there they had Old Rasputin on nitro......haven't had it in maybe 15 years. It was a nice mix up and good trip down memory lane.

You guys get Allagash in Cali? Made in Portland, ME, roughly an hour from my place.

Definitely some of the best Belgians on the planet. I often forget how great they are then rediscover them and go "oh, yeah".

[Brandon]

Yeah, I've had their White many times and is probably the most predominant. Pretty sure I had their Tripel and Curieux, too.

Good shit.

[tdawg87]

"Curieux" is one of their best beers. It's labeled as a "Tripel" for some reason but it's 11%. Definitely a Quad, as far as I'm concerned.

[Stradling]

I like Allagash.

Most likely a brewery making it for them. That Selma's pizza place I have mentioned on here a few times have their own beers, but it's actually Firestone Walker that brews them. Oggies does the same thing, their beer are made by Left Coast, but they are both owned by the same guy.
