    I'm sure. It's a triple or a quad isn't it?! Funny I haven't drank Belgians for a while as I've been drinking RISs but I had a trappist Belgian yesterday and I all of a sudden want to get more. I actually want to order some Cantillon though. Not that Cantillon is trappist.

    I've picked this up in the past (and consider myself to have tastes for beer well above "slightly better than average"...but at a $28 price tag at Total Wine, i'm passing this year.

    The logo is slightly different, but otherwise this is pretty much the same one. I've been drinking a lot of my beer from it, it is a nice glass. I have a Straub glass that is very similar.

    been picking up a Samuel Smiths gift pack every couple weeks lately. Getting 3 big bottles of great beer and a nice logoed imperial pint glass for $10.99.

    My favorite one is St Bernardus. Although I am not a huge fan of tripels, the rest of them blow my mind. Not to mention the wonderful chalice. It is an awesome gift for anyone that remotely likes Belgium beers.

    On a side not, I am making my dad a unique one for Christmas. I think it will beat out all other mix packs. It will include:
    DFH 120 2012
    DFH 120 2013
    Chokolat
    BCBS 2012
    FIS 2012
    BCS 2012-2013
    DFH Burton Baton
    DFH Olde School
    2 Gandhi Bot Glasses
    and the crown jewel: Bud light 2013

    My guess is that he has only had the FIS, BCS, bud light, and BCBS. The rest are going to be new to him.

    I've been looking for one of these for a Christmas gift. Can't find any in San Diego (so far).

    Yes, it actually is their 6,8, tripel, quad, and a 33 cl chalice. I think it was about $20.

    I just bought a 2010 a few days ago. I have never had any of them. It was only $8...

    New Glarus' Raspberry and Belgian Red has been a popular trade set in years past.. not sure how well received the Strawberry Rhubarb and Serendipity pack will be this year.

    Saw this at world market the other day for $11.99. Think I might go back and grab one since I've never tried either of these beers and the glass looks pretty cool.

    Belmont Station in Portland has a Firestone Walker Anniversary bundle. $155 gets you XII to XVI, I believe.

    The Duvel box, as mentioned, is a must-have, simply because of the glass and the fact that it is Duvel.

    Just today, saw a Unibroue box with 1 bomber each of La Fin Du Monde, Maudite, and Trois Pistoles. That's a great gift box. Why? It's three of their best beers (missing out on Don De Dieu), bomber-sized and attractively boxed. Belgian-styled beers are perfect for the holidays.

    Here is my favorite behind the picture of the mediocre IPA. The New Glarus gift set that I just picked up last week. I've already enjoyed a bottle of the Strawberry Rhubarb via the glassware with my lady.

    I snagged myself the samuel smith beer gift set. Three 550ml bottles and a glass. It was for $14 bucks! Does anyone take advantage of this also?

    What are other gift sets are offered?
