    Sure is. The bartender that served me there I guess just wasn't aware that some was being exported. Very cool though. Did you enjoy it?

    I like a few different triples, but Sprecher's Abbey Triple has all of them beat by a long shot.

    Not a pure Tripel, but this deserves a mention.

    Agree, my wife and I enjoyed the cafe and beer as well. One of my top beers of the trip.

    Devil's Backbone by Real Ale (from tiny Blanco, Tx). Amazing! I preferred it over Chimay. Not sure it's available outside of Texas.

    That is a Triple IPA. Not a Belgian Tripel

    I've never drunk a tripel that didn't deserve it

    It's a very very hard choice between Chimay and Westmalle as to which one is my favorite. As a style, tripels are one of my all time favorites.

    Maredsous 10 is a bit too 'hot' for my tastes ...

    St Bernardus Tripel is simply amazing and the beer I rated the highest on BA :slight_smile:

    I'm yet to find a tripel that can beat Tripel Karmeliet.
