I'm currently drinking a 2005 Pere Jacques (which is delicious, by the way), and I noticed that there is this anecdote from Greg Hall on the old label: "We were doing these great brewery tours of Belgium with 12 or 15 people. We toured all the best breweries, even the Trappist breweries, but we could never get into one of them. We were so determined that we kept calling until someone said yes. He was the Abbot and his name was Pere Jacques. He personally gave us a tour of the most beautiful brewery I've ever visited and we finished it all of with a wonderful lunch of roast duck and wild boar. Perfectly matching with the breweries' own ales. I'll never forget that day and that beer. We brew Pere Jacques with LOADS of MALT and BELGIAN YEAST for a wondrously complex, fruity malt ale." Does anyone know what brewery he's talking about? Thanks!
PJ is probably the only dark saision besides Stillwater or Jolly Pumpkin's that I'd drink more than once. How's it with some age?
Love me some Pere Jacques. This is the beer that got me into craft beer. Silly how I thought an $11 four pack was so expensive.
