Your Favorite Tripels

1. Chimay White
2. Damntaion 23
3. La Fin Du Monde
4. Westmalle
5. Curieux

 

Tough list to make but I'll narrow it down to;
Chimay
Westmalle
Maredsous
Golden Monkey
Delerium Tremens
St. Bernardus
Merry Monks

 

If I had a favorite style, it would be Tripels. My favorite is Chimay White, but the best one I've ever had is La Fin du Monde.

 

it's about 5-7 dollars in my neck of the woods.. welcome to America..

 

Echoing what others have alluded to, pretty much any import from Belgium is going to have a pretty hefty markup here in the States. Even crap beer like Stella Artois.

 

Karmeliet is probably my favourite. Though I quite like Westmalle, too.

 

1. Tripel Karmeliet
2. Westmalle
3. St. Bernardus
4. La Fin Du Monde
5. Val Dieu

 

Sorry to hear that. Abt is my everyday drinking beer.

My wife said to me today, looking at the receipt as we left the off licence: "27 euros for 12 beers - that's expensive."

"No, that's for 16."

She still thinks it's expensive.

 

send me some...

 

Curieux for me when I can get it. Otherwise, Westmalle is tough to beat.

 

This. Totally this! However if the Val Dieu is from a Salmanazar it immediately jumps to number 3!

5. La Fin Du Monde

Weyerbacher merry monks is best value for $$ as far as best of the 'cheaper' triples in stores in my area

 

The Tide and Its Takers. One of the best out there. Anchorage is putting out some amazing, solid stuff right now.

 

Would say for a true Belgian- probably Westmalle. In the American style category, I'm always blown away by Gash Curieux. For the inexpensive, local option, it's tough to beat Golden Monkey.

 

Karmeliet
Long Strange
La Fin Du Monde

Haven't tried a ton yet, but those three all blew me away.

 

Love me some Tripels ... shocked and saddened that the top rated one on this site is #97, behind something called "Raspberry Tart". But I digress... Top 5 of my personal fave style:
1) La Fin
2) Tripel Van de Garre (outside of Belgium, only avail at Teresa's Next Door in Wayne PA , I believe)
3) Westmalle
4) Maredsous 10
5) Curieux
p.s. this is also a great gateway style for those that claim to be wine-only folk

 

Boulevard Long Strange Tripel.

 

I actually really enjoyed long strange trip.

I'm also partial to Marin old dipsea tripel if u can believe it, my favorite beer from them actually

 

Couldn't even if I tried. Tap only and they are no longer filling growlers of it.

 

La Fin du Monde and Tripel Karmeliet are my two favorites. I would never buy a 750ml of Tripel Karm though. Those green bottles are always so funky. Luckily they use brown glass for the four packs.

Also, Three Floyds had a Tripel/IPA hybrid a couple years ago called Al Dabeyoun that was incredible.
