Favorite Quads

you can get good quads by doing heavy squats

 

Van De Kaiser Blauw is good along with the O.G.'s (St bernardus Abt 12, Rochefort 10, pannepot)

 

Prearis makes a few different barrel offerings. Draft and Vessel in Milwaukee was just pouring an Ardbeg aged and a Jack Daniels aged quad from them. Both very good!

 

Other BA Quads/Strong Darks:

Straffe Hendrik Heritage
La Trappe Oak Aged Quad
Scaldis Prestige/Prestige de Nuits
Pannepot Reserva/Grand Reserva
De Dolle Oerbier Reserva
Gulden Draak Brewmaster's Reserve (very much on the blonde end of the quad spectrum)
Alvinne Oak Aged Balthazar and various Cuvees

Probably some others I can't think of right now.

 

I was fortunate enough for my girlfriend to bring a bottle of westy 12 back from Amsterdam. I was thoroughly impressed and had been waiting forever to try this one after having all those available to me in Minnesota.

 

Elevation False summit definitely more American than Belgian but one of my favorites and at 12-14 bucks for a 750ml out here a bargain.

 

Rochefort 10 is one of my all time favorite beers. Make sure you sip that stuff from a chalice tho

 

Rochefort 10 is my fav far and away.

That said, I've never had Westy 12.

 

Yeah Sixth Glass is my regular drinker when I just need that quad fix, I used to be able to get it for like 9 dollars a 4 pack at Meijer. Rochefort and St. Bernardus are the rare treats.

 

Ommegang Three Philosophers.

Yes.

 

I already have that one but haven't tried it yet. I took a very fruitful pilgrimage to The Lost Abbey during my last trip to SD.

 

Ya, I've heard of it but have yet to see any here in upstate NY. I'll have to try it if I find one.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't heard of either of these. I'll look into distro.

 

That sounds like a deal. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Samuel Adams Tetravis

 

Just recently bought this one but haven't tried it yet. I had their Stoneybrook Red and liked it a lot.

 

Avery dropped a BBA quintuple a few months back called 5 monks. I really really REALLY wish I had bought more of that beer. It was just amazing.

 

Agreed. I haven't had it in several years, but I used to drink it quite often. Nice quad with decent distribution.

 

Malheur 12. Quadraceratops.

 

Remember the glassware for your quads. I like the Chimay chalice myself. Perfect size for the beer and head. Plus you look like a boss sipping a big quad out of it
