I’ve tried all of them and visited mot of the Trappist Breweries.......

My favorite is the Westmalle Triple.......

Best beer fest in the world is in Grande Place Brussels every year, the first weekend in Sept. The following weekend is the better festival of mostly Belgian Sours.....

Have done this 5 times... 3 days of 300+ Belgian beers!!!!

And spend the night drinking at Joe’s Delerium Tremens Bar or across the street at his Flores Cafe’... 150 different brands of Absinthe!!!! Killed a lot of brain cells in those places.....

Went to an EU brewing symposium with the brew-masters from the Trappist breweries. Drank till the sun came up.... really great guys

One of my former co-workers is a beer aficionado. Several years ago, never having traveled to Europe, he purchased tickets for a beer tour of Belgium. He purchased two large suitcases, one carry on, and several rolls of bubble wrap. He packed his skivvies in the carry on and departed. As he toured the Belgian breweries, he purchased and packed both bags with their best beers, carefully wrapped in the bubble wrap. Upon his return to the US, he held a beer party at home with his best friends. He never stopped raving about his trip.
