literally belgian beer 101. belgian coors. belgian budweiser
powerful snob energy so sorry

Except the 'Belgian' part cancels out the Coors and Budweiser, sorry.

wouldn't Jupiler be the Belgian Coors?
have no recollection of drinking Chimary tbh. Rochefort 10 for me thanks

Aye, that's a pretty naive take. Stella/Jupiler are for sure the prominent macro lagers in BE.

I'll take Stella & Jupiler over Coors & Budweiser, hands down. Mentioning Chimay in the same breath is performative af.

obviously chimay isn't literally a mass-market lager but cmon it is as basic as 'proper' belgian ale gets

stella and jupiler literally do not figure in my ideation of anything involving belgium and beer
― imago, Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:51 (three years ago) link
That's true, but it's proof positive that basic can be good not bad when done right.

Chimay is pretty basic Belgian beer, sure, but Chimay Blue is still, well not top-tier, but second-tier anyway.

captaine jay vee's transcendent experience has not been ruined by my dreadful messageboard grousing, we may be assured

Tbc my 'jelly' was less 'omg I wish I could get my hands on that priceless ambrosia' and more 'ten Dry January days to go... a Chimay would really hit the spot right now'. 'Second-tier' is correct.

i haven't had a proper belgian beer in months. months! i'd like to pretend a Duvel will do but really fuck it I just want Cantillon

No, this cheap swill has not been ruined for me, merci bien. It’s doin’ the damn thing until my fave local Belgian beer bar re-opens in the (near?) future, alcohol gods willing.
