While wine snobs have blighted the earth for thousands of years (you can bet there was at least one guy curling his lip at the vintage of Jesus’ first and best miracle), beer snobbery is a relatively young art, especially in the U.S.
This is because every beer in the country once tasted exactly the same. Oh sure, there were Bud lovers and MGD aficionados who would swear they could tell the difference, but if you gave them a blind taste test, you’d soon discover they’d just keep asking for another “test taste” until there wasn’t any beer left and they were passed out on your sofa.
Furthermore, beer was considered the balm of the common man, it was not something you swirled in a glass and judged by its “nose.” It was something you swilled from a plastic cup and sometimes shot through your nose.
Then the microbrewery revolution swept the country and soon every abandoned firehouse, bank and shoe factory was outfitted with a vat and turning out every possible form and flavor of beer you could imagine, and some you would rather not.

Its a bit of work, but the yeast in Chimay is alive, so you can use the dregs of the bottle to make a yeast starter, and brew your own.
That is all.
Cheers!
Not hard to do, just make a starter and find a Chimay Blue recipe which is abundant on the interwebs. Beer Captured has probably the closest that I’ve tried but most of the Trappist brews readily give out their recipe. Westmalle comes to mind, they even have been known to give a sample of their yeast to visitors willing to worship for the day and sit in on a brewing session.
I am not a huge fan of wheat beer, but I like it alright.
I had an interesting rye beer a while back
Le Fin du Monde

You sure you want to drink The End of the World?
It’s a fine brew.
