    I know I know. Prices vary from region to region. But this would include your St Bernardus Abt 12, your Chimay, Delirium Tremens, etc....

    I love Belgian beers, but I find myself usually buying American craft more and more, especially over the past 5-7 years. And I rarely revisit the ones I do love (like those listed above).

    Favorite Belgian styles are Golden Strong (or strong Pale) and Tripels. Love sour styles also. One day I hope to try Cantillon and some of the other rare birds, but I'm not really into the trading scene for now.

    Always looking to expand my repertoire. So what are your favorite recommendations for fairly accessible Belgians in the $10-$12 range?

    Saison Dupont for something I can get local but Rodenbach Grand Cru is a great choice from others

    If you let me drop down to a 375ml then I am going with 3F OG though :grinning:

    Abt 12 is usually $12.99 so I won't count that. Triple Karmiliet is what I would go with.
