i dont like beer, but i can appreciate a kriek from time to time... (i dont find kriek a real beer though...)

WFS, those beers arent really available outside the EU.

One of the people i know in turkey lives in ankara and in a speciallaty store the only thing they had from us was Leffe. And she found that the best she had. And it costs bucketloads of cash.

"WFS, those beers arent really available outside the EU."

That doesn't make them less good though! And some are available, like Duvel and Chimay

well, i have acouple ideas where i might be able to find some here in the US, soon i'll depart on my quest and i'll let you guys know if i have any success.

i am back from my quest! i got a 4-pack of Duvel, a 750 mL bottle of La Chouffe, a 750 mL bottle of Westmalle, and despite it not being on WFS's list, i got a 750mL bottle of Saison Dupont, because well, its from Belgium.

i also saw some kriek, but decided against buying it. so whoever said "WFS, those beers arent really available outside the EU.", you're wrong!

haha, avogadro, I think you are really sending the torpedoes today :-)

and while it is possible to find those beer in the USA, outside of the EU they are kind of hard to find. 

Good luck tasting those beer though.

What is this beer you speak of? I only know of Rum.  yaaaaarrrrrr.

Hhehehehe Avogardo cant believe you went out and bought half a beer shop just so you could test the beers, class

1. Nice try Smiof, you can't have my beer

2. Wouter you know Mexico makes some great lagers the old way and California has better stouts than Belgium, which tries to cover up by insisting dark beers arent necessary.

3. Bevmo.com noobs!

3. My #2 favorite beer is North Coast Old Rasputin Imperial Russian Stout, which is like a rye/sourdough pancake batter thinned with alcohol. If you can ever get to Humboldt, CA the Lost Coast Brewery whips up batches of test beers for local pizza joints and bars. My #1 favorite beer is their Brown Organic lager of April 2004 which they never bottled. It went down sweet and creamy like A&W root beer.  I drank about 4 literss by myself.  It isnt bottled so you cant get any. Neither can I   But in my day, I touched the Grail...and drank deep...

Arguing beers online is silleh

Someday I'll go to Belgium and bring some US beers

And I'll drink them in front of you and tell you how good they are, in person

Yell - I am not in Belgium, haha, for you to come and drink them in front of me :-) but I agree that I am not arguing beer online, I just need some recommendations  

For example, I have never had a californian beer, but I will check at Total Wine if they have some tomorrow.
