Good Belgian beers that aren't available in USA?

Verboden Vrucht, Grand Cru, and Speciale by Hoegaarden are three that come to mind. The first two may be getting some distribution in the States now, but the last is definitely not, so far as I know. May be wrong though.

Faro Boon also has not made it to the States. Not sure if everyone would classify it as excellent or good, since it is faro, but I liked it. Duivels Bier is another by Boon that doesn't get over to the U.S.

 

Bottles of Tripel De Garre.. I think it's popped up on tap a few times, but I've never heard of bottles being sold anywhere but the bar in Bruges.

 

Alright, I'll play by the rules. A lot of the one-off Loons are mentioned in this article: http://allaboutbeer.com/article/ghost-whales/. Soliel is probably my #1 wanted ghostwale.

 

The Armand 4 Series.

 

Personally, I'd like to try Hoegaarden Grand Cru, but I don't believe it gets any distribution stateside.

EDIT: just saw an earlier poster linked to this beer.

 

To get a better response from some Belgian or other European members - try posting in the regional forum:

Other than the one from Lindemans - are there any other Faros that make it Stateside?

 

I think they'd have a decent idea on which beers are only released locally. Especially if they trade beer.

Although it is a bit of a chicken-egg problem.
