Best American Belgian-Style Breweries

Allagash and ommegang are my faves

 

Just posted this in WBAYDN.

 

I'm a big fan of Funkwerks. Saisons are usually not my thing but theirs are fantastic.

 

Barrel of Monks in Boca Raton, Florida
Brewery Vivant, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Right Proper, Washington, DC.

 

Definitely funkwerks. Their Saison and tropic king are both outstanding.

 

It was started by Americans, is still here, and still make their original offerings. Doesn't count? ; )

 

As others have mentioned , Ommegang (made me realize I actually liked beer. ), Unibroue, & Allagash.
I'd add Off-Color, for Apex Predator, if nothing else.

 

The big 3 (Unibroue, Allagash, Ommegang)

 

Allagash is pretty much the only option.

Unibroue is Canadian and Ommegang does not make as good beers. Everybody else just dabbles in Belgian styles from time to time, some more than others, but aren't exclusively or primarily Belgian style breweries.

 

Hell yeah...

Plus...it is great to drink in Montreal because its so cheap.

 

Sante Adairius Rustic Ales

 

This is the hardest question for me. Buy I think I like Ommegang and lost abbey on my short list. I assumed we were talking about belgian pales, blonde, dubbels, tripels, quads etc. But it gets too confusing for me to make my list. It gets tricky when it comes to farmhouse/saison styles because everybody does em now. If I'm focusing on saisons alone it's a completely different list.

 

Selkirk Abbey.

 

Ommegang
The Bruery
And here in Texas, JESTER KING!

 

Toxic Brew in Dayton, OH makes some Belgian styles from time to time. Their Abby XXXX Quad is superb.

 

Overall, I have to say Ommegang. But I want to give a shout out to Cape May Brewing Company, which brews a Belgian Strong Pale Ale called "Devil's Reach" which is very good!
