Need help with Belgian Beers

What are you talking about? There were many Belgian suggestions before Tut's post.

 

It is the guys 50th birthday. Man up, go to Belguiminabox.com and order a case of West 12

 

I'd love to see thier faces at first sip if he bought them authentic Belgian's.(which he did NOT state in his post)

 

Duvel - Belgian Strong Pale Ale
Chimay Blue - Belgian Strong Dark Ale
St Bernardus Abt 12 - Quad
Saison Dupont -Saison
Tripel Karmeliet - Tripel

 

Grab a bottle of lambic. I say you want Belgians? Now here get some Belgian. Watch their face for a priceless experience

 

What makes a beer an authentic Belgian?

 

I would stick with true Belgian beers, and that means from Belgium. I would include a good range of styles, from your typical golden (Duvel), to Abbey styles (Chimay, Orval, Achel, Leffe), doubles and triples as well as a sour or two. If you can put together a 12 pack of 750ml that should be a great place to start a party. Cheers!

 

I'm a little late to this party But if you want some decent belgian style ales. Unibroue makes some great ones, If you dont think your friend likes stronger beers, their blanche de chambly is a nice belgian witbier, light and easy drinking, if she likes stronger belgians Maudite (dark) La fin du monde(lighter fruits) would be good beers. Duvel is never a bad choice but can come off as strong to a light drinker the same goes with the trappist beers for the most part. Leffe would also work for a decent lighter style. cheers!
