    Ive got a bottle and ready to go for this one.
    I reviewed the OG on BA in 2004.
    Will be fun to compare my review with current thoughts.

    Thanks to @slander 's help, it looks like BXL Zoute in New York City has genuine draft (pun unintended :slight_smile:) Duvel.

    This is interesting - Hopleaf (a Chicago area bar) posted this today:
    Looks like this will be a great (last) chance to grab single fermented to taste/review/drink.

    I did pick it up in cans and am definitely planning to do a side-by-side with OG Duvel

    I feel like I often have to remind myself about the Citra. From the brewer:

    I am hoping to find the Irish Whiskey aged Duvel as well! I heard about a place that might be getting them tomorrow, so we will see!

    Whoa! :astonished:

    This is the first I heard about this version. From web searching:

    “Duvel Barrel Aged Irish Whiskey Edition will be available from the end of October 2022. And because the experience and the beer are so unique, the beer comes in a special gift box.”

    I have not seen this beer at any of my local beer retailers.

    I look forward to reading your thoughts on this beer.

    Cheers!

    I thoroughly enjoyed their Jamaican Rum edition, so I am hoping I can find this one.

    It’s available as can be, considering the World class beer it is pretty cheap here, and the only thing I am complaining about right now is to have to wait until Friday to post here.

    I’ll comply. :wink:

    One of my favourite beers but alas, they are all old and sitting on warm shelves. I found out the hard way. :slight_frown:

    Lucky you!

    Duvel is very pricey at my local beer retailers. :slight_frown:

    The thing is we find it here in supermarkets fairly easily. The equivalent of Walmart of Safeway here have it for 2€ or so. Any iteration of it, the OG, tripel hop Casmere, Citra etc. No need to go to the beer retailers or store for the better.

    I too can find it at my local Supermarket (Wegmans):

    [​IMG]


    $17.99 /ea
    4 x 11.2 fl oz ($4.50/ea)

    Needless to say but $4.50 > 2€ (unfortunately :slight_frown:).

    Cheers!

    I may snag one for the weekend. It's not a style I reach for often, but that doesn't stop me from recognizing it's near perfection whenever I go for it.

    I think it's about $5 for a single, maybe cheaper if you go for one of the 4 packs. But considering what it is, and what else is available in that ~45cent/oz range, it always strikes me as a decent deal.

    OK, OK !
    My New Years Resolution was not to buy any ales until after Valentines Day.
    But since you've started a thread to commemorate Duvel's leadership, I have to participate. My major obstacle is my cellar is empty of Duvel and have only a few from its subsidiary brewers. Such is the price of being a fan of Duvel's management style.
    However to support my good friend FBarber (whom I know only via BA despite living in the same town for decades), I will go out and buy some Duvel just so I can participate.
    In the meantime, see you on the 27th !
