Favorite Belgian Beer for around $10 per 750ml

Tripel Karmeliet
Both Three Philosophers and Abbey Ale
Final Absolution

There's a new-ish brewery in Frankfort, MI called Stromcloud I had a chance to try last summer. They specialize in Belgian style ales, had the 228 tripel, my wife had the dubbel. Really enjoyable, definitely going to hit the place up again this summer.

 

My favourite Belgian Ale is Duvel by far. Absolute heaven on the palate, although that 8.5% ABV can really sneak up on you

As for a price, I can buy a bottle for around $3.50 CAD, not sure what it would be in your area.

 

showing some Cali love with North Coast Pranqster! Awesome beer and so well priced

 

Abt 12, Duvel, Gulden Draak. World class, affordable, and always welcome when brought to a party.

 

Duvel
St. Bernardus Abt 12
Chimay (all are great but I prefer the Premiere)
Saison Dupont
Delirium Tremens
...so pretty much what everyone else already said.

...and Ommegang is not Belgian! They are owned by Duvel but brewed in upstate NY. Lets stop calling them Belgian and get there stuff out of the Belgian/International sections of the stores. This annoys the crap out of me.

 

Duvell, Chimay, Westmalle.
