Which Belgian ale should I drink first?

stella and jupiler literally do not figure in my ideation of anything involving belgium and beer

That's true, but it's proof positive that basic can be good not bad when done right.

that sweet massaman gai posting to the what are you listening to thread energy

lol

just been drinking an ostbuigrinzvlet 283 special reduction, only 3 bottles brewed

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.

And, yeah, I hit the St Bernardus when I’m there :)

that is the one brew that people can successfully bribe me to do things with
